Farewell to my cousin Maureen. We never did keep in touch, however I did catchup with you and Bob, a good few years ago. I remember when there was so many cousins living in Eltham, we virtually owned the town. For Maureen's family, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. There are not a lot of us cousins left now, so R.I.P. Maureen. Peter Joyce Tauranga.

Dear Maureen, I always loved visiting with you when ever I came down to Taranaki, you always made me feel so very welcome. I have such precious memories of those early years when Bernie & I used to visit with you, both & I was always intrigued by Bob’s huge tomatoes! it’s sad to think that you are not there in Stratford any more. I was pleased that you were able to meet my special second husband Jock. We both send our sympathy & condolences to all the family. Sorry we can’t be with you all as you farewell your dear Mum, Grandmother & Great grandmother. Blessings and hugs. Aunty Leone Ps. Anthony & Lynda also extend their sympathy.
