Sad news. Betty Seage died last night (Monday 19/08/14). Aunty Betty would have been 90 this year and had a long life rich with the love of her immediate and extended family. She contraced a chest infection ten days ago and was unable to recover. I'm sure the Roff family will keep the Seages, particularly Uncle Ken, close to their hearts in the coming days. We will post news on the funeral service when it becomes available. God bless Aunty Betty.

To the Seages, Kel and I are really sorry that Betty passed away last night. She was always beautiful to us in the way that she passed on photographs and kept people together. We love the Seages. Love Jake and Kel
Jake, can you email your family with the news please? I don't have a current set of email addresses with me. Hope you're well. Grant x
Here are the arrangements for Aunty Betty. A service (mass)will be held at Lourdes Retirement Village, 23/95 Stanhope Road, Killara at 10.30am on Monday, August 25. She will be buried at a northern suburbs cemetery at 12.15pm and this will be followed by a wake back at Lourdes from 1.00pm.
The Seages completely get the tyranny of distance and understand that although all Roffs would like to attend, for various reasons that won't be possible. the Roff family will, however, be well represented. If you plan to attend, can you let me know before the weekend so that I can pass the information on for catering purposes.
The Seages have requested no flowers but if anyone would like to make a donation to the St Vincent de Paul Society in honor of Aunty Betty, this will be passed on.
I'll post any further information that arrives prior to the event.

It is sad news indeed.
I will be at the funeral.

So sad to hear this news. Aunty Betty was a cornerstone of the Seage and Roff families. Her enthusiasm, caring and inquisitive nature, as we remember her, will be missed greatly. Love from Adelaide.
Now I remember how to do it....!
We will so miss Aunty Bet - intelligent, warm, others- oriented, loving, family tree organiser ( how many times have we (outlaws) been asked "now who was...".We have been so blessed to have her as 'ours'. Prayers and loving thoughts to all the Seages. Glenn & I will be at the funeral. Naomi, too, I believe. Joe sends love from Dubai (Sar is holding the fort). Jake's & Kel's loving message above. Sue & Glenn
Many thanks to all for your thoughts and messages. Only now really comprehend how you felt when Eileen passed. I hope the gathering will be a chance to recount some Aunty Betty moments.
I may express mine with a ukelele tune or two, as song seems the vehicle by which Mum and I communicated over the past year or so.
For those that cannot make it we have the Order of Service which I have asked Grant to organise to be posted on the Blog.
