Christine Garvican
Whilst on holidays in Germany we were shocked and saddened to hear our wonderful and
very close friends, Hugh and Christine Garvican of Leberhine Kennels were involved in a car
accident in southern Germany (Bavaria).
Unfortunately Christine passed away as a result of the accident and Hugh suffered very
serious injuries.
We take solitude that Christine died in a very special part of the world she very much adored
and doing what she loved. May you Rest In Peace, Christine. We will greatly miss your
laughter, kindness and sincerest friendship.
Please click here for a very beautiful poem written by Nikita Evans in memory of her loving Gran.
Also our sincerest thanks go to very special friend in Germany for their assistance in this very
hard time. Special thanks must go to:

Edgar Rusenberg and Silke Kleine Niklaus and Tim of Blumenkamp Kennels
You experienced our grief and saddness from the moment we received the phone call about the accident. We will forever be in debt to you for your love, support and friendship during the time we spent with you after receiving the news of the accident.
We are proud to call you our true friends and we love you all dearly. |

Martin, Maria, Marcus and Andreas Goebl of Wildsteiger Land Kennels
We met you all in a happy times with Hugh and Christine, yet united with the sadness and grief since the accident. We are aware of the many thing you and your family have undertaken once you were aware of the accident which many people will never know or will credit.
You showed you were true friends to Hugh and Christine and we are forever in you debt for the kindness and love you have shown. |

Christine Garvican When this picture was taken it was in a Gasthof in southern Bavaria near where Christine died. At the time she was encouraged to write postcards back to Australia and we witnessed Christine's wonderful humour at it's best - instead of the usual ramblings, the recipients received a progressive crossword. |
