So sad to learn of dear rositas passing. We were neighbours for over 20 years. When our dad lost his battle with cancer, she let our family use her home to park during his tangi. Rosita had a small slip one day which lead to us getting to know her a little better. She shared Christmas lunch with us in 2019 and during the 2020 lockdowns.. we mucked in and helped with little errands around her home. Like bringing in the laundry. We also snuck her some of her fav treats.. 6 pack of Lift and Sour cream & Chives chippies. I remember I managed to call her once at the ranfurly resthome in feilding. Was a lovely little chat with the help of the nurses. Thank you for being the best neighbour Rosita. Our deepest sympathies to rositas family from the Kea whanau at 50.
Always remembered, never forgotten. A kind Aunt. R.I.P.
Farewell to a dear Aunt . Rest in peace.
