Sad to hear of Roma passing
Roma was a big part of the railway boot market for many years. She would always come over to our vegetable stall to talk with my late husband about books or to get him to read a book that she was unsure if it was worth selling.
She was always happy if he brought it back saying it was a good read. Have missed her at the market over the last year or two. R.I.P Roma.

Chrissy, thinking of you. So interesting our connections, from working at Mayflower next door to your antique shop to me being cousin to Jacinta, to your dear Mum enjoying no doubt the apartment at Ashwood that Mum and Dad shared until their passing. A very small world that crosses in wonderful ways love to you xx

Sadden to see Roma has passed away What a amazing lady. I first meet her at her house next door
to old motels Sleepy Vines where I worked. She would call out to us to give us things for RSE workers.
It was her who got me back into the Market. It has been a pleasure to know her.
