Tuesday service for Michael



By Kath Gannaway

Michael Morrissey made quite an impact in his low-key way in Healesville and his death on Friday, 23 March, will be a sadness to people whose lives he brightened. Michael was a member of the Rivendell community where he made many friends, and he was a familiar face around the Coles car park over a number of years as he cheerfully and efficiently collected the trolleys and helped older people with their shopping … rain, hail or shine! A service will be held at Healesville Cemetery at 11am on Tuesday, 27 March.
