Barbara HONEYCOMBE Obituary

Hi Aana - we were very saddened to read in the paper of Barbara's passing. Also that we didn't read it in time to come up to Barbara's funeral service. I would love to talk to you if you have a moment to contact us on 021 644237. We are coming up to Dairy Flat on the 8th May for a month house sitting and were planning to contact Barbara again. She was such a lovely lady and we were very fond of her. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family and your brothers and families. Although we never met we feel we did know you. Such a shame we missed the service. Warm regards, Jan and Brian Batson

To the wider Honeycombe family, and to Aana and Tony and your family, sending you all my love at this very sad time. Barbara and John were my second family growing up and I have so many treasured memories of Jaemont Ave, Pauanui and sleepovers to treasure. Her sewing corner and warm family kitchen will always be in my heart when I think of her - the many treats and talks we shared there.
Sending you all love and light.

Dearest Aana & Tony, Isabella, Carlo, Luc and all the Honeycombe family. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your most cherished Mum, Nana & Great Nana. I have so many fond memories of Barbara and John especially back at Jaemont when I was young. The Honeycombe house was my favourite place to go....so much fun, laughter and good times. I will never forget Barbara's amazing cooking and sewing skills and her warmth and smile. Rest easy now and at peace. All our love from the Ascough, Campbell & Vuksich families xoxoxo

Sending our condolences to you all,
There are so many memories of when you all came up at Christmas to Bay Road Red Beach I remember my Sister Bernadette used to visit Laura Honeycomb.
Also John James would call over sometimes at breakfast when our dad Joe Noakes had made stinking oats as john james called them ...he probably wont remember this as he was so young
