Funeral expenses for Coralina 'Tina' Cattrell

"Do you not know that a person is not dead while their name is still spoken?" - Sir Terry Pratchett

My mother was an artist of prolific habits, turning her hand to clay, canvas, oils, paints, stones and words. Fantasy filled her veins.

Her skills of creativity and imagination were only shadowed by her love, kindness and community, sharing what little she had with friends, neighbours, family and strangers.

She was encouraging, welcoming, inspiring, forgiving and supportive. As her son, I could not ask for a better parent, or grandparent to my own child.

My mum had a reach that included friends across the globe, from every single walk of life, and would help any who asked for it.

Now on her behalf, I ask if you could help her, and who she has left behind as she walks the black sands. The expenses of even a sparse funeral are beyond our means, and it will take time to probably catalogue, archive and distribute her creations and possessions. Whatever you can spare will go towards the funeral, as well as a temporary storage solution so that we are not rushed in the time it will take.

She was our Nanny Ogg, and will honour her as best we can. With mirth and merriment.
