Tributes

It was such a pleasure to spend sometime with Tippy. She made us feel so welcome and special. Her smile will stay with us and we shall always remember her welcome for us. Our thoughts are with all the family.

Nana Tippy always had a beautiful smile; i will never forget the summer lunch i shared as a child where she told through laughs and grins me all about her youth that she shared with my late nana. Will miss her endless complements and cheeky smiles. ofa atu nana tippy 🤍
