Rest in peace beautiful lady, always loved , never forgotten.
Well the Staite family I watched the service on line and it brought back wonderful memories of Marie. You all have summed her up perfectly. I give thanks for both your Dad Bill and Marie and for the legacy they have left us in you their children Neil, Vivienne and Carl. I remember well when you lived in the house below us when we lived in Mountain View Road and the good times our children shared together. I also remember very well our cat "Pinto" (who was a very beautiful persian grey and white cat) who decided to go down on occasions and stay with Marie and Bill. I know by the tributes that were paid today about Marie he probably got a lot more love and attention down there than he got back up at the Moloney household. Marie fed him and gave him little titbits so no wonder he didn't want to leave. However if Pinto ever was a bit off colour I would get a ring from Marie to say "you need to take Pinto" to the vet. How good were these times. I also thought of my dear late brother Ken and his wife Kath and the special friendship that Bill and Marie had with them and what good people they all were. Hockey being a thing that firstly brought their friendship together Draw strength from each other and I know you have lots of whanau and friends around you to be able to do this. So yes what a privilege to have known Marie . God Bless her and she lived a good life just as our Lord asks of us. Love Bev and Danny Moloney
Aunty Marie, It is now our turn to give everyone the unconditional love that you gave us all. To Neil, Vivienne, and Carl, I am so very sorry I was not able to be with you all in person today. Te mamae me te pōuri nui e ngau kino nei. Doug Gaylard
Al Our Love to you our Family sorry we are not able to be with you all at this time We will miss Marie and her great friendship to us both Love Cedric and Karyn Armstrong
