Bryan deepest sympathy on the passing of your mum. I just watched the service and the photo tributes and would like to thank you for sharing the photos of my mum (Geraldine Rush) along side your mum and dad and also my dad (Wesley Rush). It was a lovely tribute to your mum. Wishing you peace and fond memories - Regards Helen Tansey (nee Rush)

Dear Jennifer, Although I didn’t know you personally, I heard of the wonderful life you lived through my sister Willow and my brother-in-law Grady. I can tell just by the way they spoke of you, that you were a loving nana and an amazing mother. Some say you can tell the character of a person through the way they raise their children, and from what I can tell, you were a strong, honest, and humble woman who loved her family. Although you leave your loved ones with an emptiness and void that perhaps cannot be filled in this lifetime, you leave them with an even greater gift and that it is the gift of love, something they can hold dear to their hearts in this lifetime and the next. May you rest in eternal peace knowing that your life and legacy does not end here, but lives on through the ones you loved and cherished the most. Tu’a ‘ofa atu, Elleanor, Sheraad & Elizabeth

Thank you Jennifer for your friendship and the great bowls we had. Jennifer, Geraldine and I went to see Isla Grant each time she came to Blenheim. Wonderful service and tributes. Jennifer was very proud of her family . Great memories. Gabrielle

Have just watched your lovely send off Jennifer that your family gave you. I have lots of fond memories of you, Bryan and wee Bryan , as we always called him whist growing up in New Haven. Your lovely baking, you sitting in front of the coal range using your knitting machine and being a good friend to my Mum and Dad. You will be so missed. Love to you Bryan and your family . Xx

So sorry to hear Jennifer passed away,I have been thinking the last few days of all the great memories from years ago in Owaka. Regards to you all, Clara Tapp

We are thinking of you all today. We have fond memories of Aunty Jen and Uncle Brian. I am still using her Sugar Free, Egg Free Sultana Cake (with a few modifications at Christmas time ! ) Enjoy the memories and the stories you will no doubt hear for the first time today! Lots of Love, Rebecca, Les and Sammy

Sincere sympathy to Bryan and family at this sad time. I have many fond memories of time spent with Jennifer and Brian in Owaka and had a lovely holiday with them in Blenheim. RIP Jennifer.🌹❤️

RIP Jennifer, it was so good to hear how you were so happy, healthy and enjoying life right to the end. You will leave a huge hole in the lives of your family who love you so much, but hopefully giving them comfort knowing that you’ll be reunited with your loving husband Brian. Love from Megan, Bruce, Hannah and Ella xxx

Dear Jen, My memories of you go back to my childhood as next door neighbours in New haven. I grew up with you as a part of my life and our family remained friends even when you left Owaka and moved North. I remember your lovely baking and beautiful knitting. Wonderful school holidays when Dot Anne and John came to stay and gave Carolyn and I someone to play with. You and Brian were always generous with your time and friendship and we spent many hours and special times in your company. Rest peacefully in love and with Brian. Deepest sympathy goes to Bryan and family who are left with a huge gap in their lives . She was so proud of you all xxx

Dearest Jen We have many fond memories of the wonderful Crawford Christmases , weddings, birthday celebrations and dinners with you over the years. I will think of you with my cup of tea as you made me a lovely tea cosy and lace doilies which I still use. We loved having you and Brian stay with us for Wills first Christmas and know you will be enjoying a good catch up together. I know you and Mary will be enjoying a catch up and that you might even be laughing about our walk in Fiji that was a little longer than 5 mins! You will leave a large hole in the family but will be remembered with so much love. Rest in peace dear Jen we will raise a glass to you on Saturday and with Christine , Bryan , Holly and Grady when we see them next. Lots of love Tania, Muzz, and Will

Farwell dear friend. Thank you for your friendship over the years. Our years of bowling together, the fun we had on Rep bowls trips will be lasting memories. Wish I could be there but I know your beautiful family will do you proud. To Bryan Chris and family our deepest condolences. The loss of your precious Mum will leave a big hole in your hearts. Much love ❤ Jan & Colin Draper
