Elizabeth PATTERSON Obituary

We will always remember Bessie with great fondness. She was a great help when our daughter Bri was born and with both grandparents living out of town. I know Mum and Dad would like to add their condolences too. They are overseas or I know they would write themselves.

Condolences to the whanau of Bessie. A beautiful, warm and kind person to have at your bedside during some of the most special times in your life... Thank you Bess for the service you gave during most of my children's births. Sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral. Arohanui
