Strange but true. The late wife of Adelaide Lord Mayor John Roche, who died in 2009 aged 81, has left each of her three daughters 30 pieces of silver, which adds up to $1.50, while giving $3.5 million to Southern Cross Care to support their work. The daughters could also share in her jewellery but they have to read her dairies first and answer questions correctly on the diary contents. Perhaps you can make a point from the grave!
