Patti Ainsworth, one of the shining lights at the Tenterfield Oracles of the Bush Committee, died of cancer a couple of days ago. She had been battling the disease for the last year. I'm sure everyone who has anything to do with the Oracles will miss Patti's ever-smiling face and gracious manner. I know that I will.

Oh no...what a lovely woman she was...those of us who who have been mere visitors in her life will miss her so much at Oracles time. We can only guess at the grief of those who were close to her life. Vale Patti.

How very sad. I've not been to the Tenterfield Oracles for some years & had no idea Patti was ill. She was always smiling...& a great driving force behind one of the best run festivals around. Condolences to all who loved Patti.
