Dear Patti Kay Andrew and family. I have such fond memories of "Aunty" Betty Duncan and Uncle Clem. Clem built our house in Pukekohe with Dad (Sel Welham). Betty was so friendly and alive just like my Mum (Mary Welham). Thank you in remembrance of a beautiful lady.
God bless you all from Chris and Bettina Welham from Australind, Westetn Australia.

We loved Aunty Betty for the longest, (because she lived the longest). Will miss the regular pop-ins and her cheerfulness. Betty was the younger sister of my father, Derrick Newport, and we will remember her with much love and respect. Now at peace.

Mary and Sel Welham have been friends from 1950 Pukekohe days and helped build their first home. Many happy memories with the Duncan family!
Our love to you all
