Hi Mum,

It's been a while since I spoke to you last. I've kept your guest book going. We recently had good news with the All Blacks winning the World Cup. It was an amazing night. Veronica received tickets from DHL to the semifinals in London and James and myself went. It was such a great trip and nice to go back to where I lived. Monique is coming over for a holiday in December so she will no doubt want to go shopping! You would have just had some of us visit you and Dad for Peters 50th birthday. I'll be over after Christmas to see you all again. It's been a rough old year for me so it will be nice to see it out with you and Dad. Love you both very much Ronny xxxx

Hi Mum, As you can see the All Blacks have won the World Cup

On this day a year ago we said a tearful goodbye to my dear Mum. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I am grateful for the precious time I had with you and that you are at peace with the Lord. You will always live on through me and your grandkids and there future children.


The Lord took you in his arms on this day and said to you 'It is time for you to be with the Father my child'.


Ka aroha ki tonu i a koe toku mama aroha - I will always love you my dear
Mum ??

Hi Mum, Well another month has gone since your passing. I thought I'd put something in about me this time. A couple of weeks back I ran my first 100km ultra marathon. I know you'd say 'goodness gracious' but it was a great run and I knew I had you and Dad with me throughout the run. So thank you for getting me through. Love Always Ronny xxxx

O mum, I really missed not hearing from you on my birthday on Tuesday. It's the little things like this that we take for granted and when they are not there anymore we miss them dearly. I'm glad I did get to see you and Dad when I was in NZ last month. Peace and Love to you both always Ronny

10/10/13 2:00pm You were dying and The Lord said to you, come with me my child and open out his hand. We never got to say good-bye in person but we certainly got to say good-bye within our hearts. Miss you my dear Mum

Well Mum and Dad,

My time in NZ is coming to a close. I really cherished the time we had together over Christmas. It was very special to me and I'm sure it was for you to.

Our Dearest Sister,
It has been 12 days since you left us and I'm having trouble writing this message. You left us in such short notice that we still can't believe your gone. Me and all the rest of your brothers and sisters love you so dearly but at least you are now with Ron and embrace him with loving arms. We so miss you and we love. God Bless.

RUTLEDGE, Teresa Winifred. Passed away 10 October 2013. You are the most loving Mum that I could ever have wished for. So much that it has broken my heart that you are no longer with us. Your beautiful spirit lives on within me and I know that Dad is now looking out for you. I will always love you Mum. Ronnie.
