Her daughters Gabby 19, Jess 17 in year 12 at Glen Innes High School and Anna 14 in year 9 at Glen Innes High School describe their mum as supportive, dependable, fun and always having a laugh. They say their mum has always been there for them and supported them in everything they do.

“It means a lot to have a mum who is always there,” Jess said. “Having her there has allowed us to develop our personalities. If we have kids we hope she will be able to go to their functions and hope she will always be there for us through life.”

Mrs Brewer who describes her daughters as good kids and good friends said, as they get older they get more independent which proves to be a challenge. She said Gabby is quiet and tends to stays out of everyone’s way, while Jess is very independent, an extrovert and strong-minded and Anna is outgoing.

“Having three daughters is never lonely it can get hectic, especially around the bathroom in the morning. But when worse comes to worse they all stick together,” she said. “My wish for them in life is and has always been for them to be happy, healthy and to be nice people.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better mum,” the girls replied.
