Aunty Aileen features large in my memories of my growing up years- I always felt welcome in her home and we shared great memories going round the Eadt Coast with the caravan, walking the Heaphy Track, eating filled rolls after a day of fishing or water skiing. Aunty Aileen was always interested in what I had to tell her and seemed always to know what to say in the ups and downs of life. My memories of my teenage years are filled with many happy occasions that include Christmas get togethers, camping holidays - all with my cousins and aunt and uncle, which wouldn´t have happened if it weren´t for Aunty Aileen´s hugely kind inclusive heart. I love you Aunty Aileen. And thank you for providing the video link so I could join in the celebration and memories from a life well lived.
