Karl and Lillian’s Love Story

After the death of her mum Lillian, who had struggled with dementia for many years, Nell decided to get a recording of her 90 year old father Karl. Sadly it was too late to record her mum, so she wanted to make sure she captured the stories from her dad.

Karl spoke about meeting his love, and partner of 70 years, when they were both at high school. He shared how they came to move from Hungary to Australia - to have their beloved daughter, Nell.

”Thank you Mandy for the gift of recording my Dad. It is a very special and important keepsake that I will treasure for eternity” - Nell K
