To Oliver and family, Erena was a loved and respected Tester for Speld North Taranaki in the 1990’s. Erena wrote the most supportive and encouraging reports for every child. We the Speld teachers of these years, remember her expertise, and the very special love she had for all children. It is with gratitude we remember Erena’s dedication and support for the teachers. We extend our loving sympathy to Oliver, and to all family. North Taranaki Speld Teachers.

To Erena's family

To Jenni, Merrin, Warick and Karen Thankyou for sharing your mum with us back when we were all kids. I will never forget Erina, her kind and quiet nature. She taught us to cross-stitch. Maybe that was the start of my journey towards being an artist. Her influence on us was life changing, my only regret is not being able to tell that to her. Love to you all.
