My condolences to all the family. You'll miss her but she's had a great life and she's no longer suffering. Remember the great times you've had together. It was good to see her at my sister, Dorothy Mainland, funeral as I hadn't seen her for many years. Sorry I can't be with you but I've only just got back to Christchurch from 6 weeks up north so can´t manage the trip back up. Thoughts are with you all. Elaine Horn nee Cowen, my mum was Margaret's mum's sister.
