Florence, Verna, Dick, I called you all of these! Always the entertainer I know you used to pull faces behind my back to get a laugh out of the kids. It was a sad day when you lost the ability to do that. The Queen of readers digest and magnamail we all have treasures now to cherish forever. Up until 2 years ago you never forgot any of our birthdays always without fail a card would arrive from Nana Dick. We are really lucky you spent your last 16months close by us in the Waikato we got to see you often. Enjoy your well deserved rest we will miss you so much.
Lots of love Michaela, Gig, Hannah @ Blake xxxx

Mum, it has been dreadful and strange, without being able to visit you each day. You lived a very long time and in your 96 years, saw and experienced much. The time you spent with your Grandchildren when they were young to the time visiting the Great Grandies in recent years, You loved them all! Your work on Earth has been completed you now deserve your rest. You leave many happy memories behind with all the family and your friends and neighbours over the years. They will always remember the jokes and the hundreds of faces you could make. I am already missing you so much and will have to find someone else to "boss" you around and make them drink ginger beer. I did after all have a great teacher in bossiness. Rest in Peace Mum, Love you heaps. Lynne

Remembering what a wonderful Aunty you were to all your nieces and nephews, the fun times we had on the farm. The evenings when we all played cards with Nan and Pop and also the games of chinese checkers.
Your probably organizing a card game now for all your family up above.
You were a big part of our lives and I will never forget all that you did for me. Love Gretaxxxx
