To the Oborn family,
Paul and I were saddened to read in the NZ Herald, of your mother's passing. Even though we ourselves are no longer young or reliant on our mothers we still need our Mum and their love and wisdom. They are the glue to our own families! I'm sure this was true for your mum as it was for mine. We hope that precious memories will sustain you during these challenging times. Kind regards, Shelley and Paul Quinlivan, Auckland.
