Dear Stephen & Sue and the Lewis Family, memories are flooding in of Rex, always cheerful and smiling, right from when I was a young girl, visiting Wrightson's with Dad, then later both Rex & Gaye when they had the Centennial Park Store, a wonderful Marton couple. Our sincere condolences to you all, Kim Petersen & Thomson Family
