Nana, finally at rest with Grandad. Sorry we won't be there to say goodbye, but the safest place for us right now is fighting Cancer with Mia. Thank you for the phone call the other day, its rough nothing anyone can do, but we will win and your call was much appreciated. Thank you for all the fun times, a trip to Kings cross in Sydney was a highlight with my 2 grandma's, the cooking tips and many family gatherings growing up, my kids were pretty fortunate to grow up with great grandparents, not many get that privilege. Rest in peace Nana, say Hi to Dad, i miss him so much. Nana Olga will be ready for a round of cards. Renee, Rowdy, Matt, Mia and Morgan

To Curly Bo Annette and Peter. I'm sorry to hear about your mum
Everything will be alright. We loved it when Lenis came to visit and brought me some baking. And she came to watch my swimming too.

Hey Curly
I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. She was a lively lady and she and Kevin did a grand job raising you - enviable energy, kindness personified, honest and fair. They were so proud of you.

I came to Te Awamutu as an 18 year old, and from those early days Lenis and I shared a friendship that lasted an incredible 70 years . Through the decades we laughed and created countless memories that I will always treasure. It's hard to say goodbye to such a dear friend, but I take comfort in knowing you are at peace now. Love Heather xxx
