It was only last the week, Bronwyn, I was trying to contact you to see how you are going. It’s unfortunate that I have found you under these circumstances. Your Mum had all the time, I could talk to her, when I was a child. I enjoyed having ‘chin wags’ with your parents, when we knocked into each other in the busy supermarket. Harry, Bronwyn, Derrick, Fiona, you are in my thoughts. Catherine(Your Wife),(Your Mum) was one in a million, with a beautiful heart, keep that with you. What a beautiful Service, she would of been proud of you. Sonja’s Big Sister on Ballance St. Rochelle Johnston

A lovely lady who will be greatly missed, her personality was so bubbly and energetic. I remember my childhood days, Catherine would look after I carl and twin Ryan Mckee, we would play in the orchard or on the collection of push bikes with odd gear shifters and banana seats etc, the smell of baking as Catherine was nearly always baking something, a lady who went out of her way to help others will always be forever remembered. From Owen Mckee Son.

So very sorry to hear about Catherine, she became far, far more than our babysitter during our time in New Plymouth, a friend to me and a Grandma figure for our girls, Catherine will forever hold a special place in their hearts and childhood memories. With our love to Harry, Fiona, Bronwyn and Derek and her wee Grandsons, thinking of you all,
