Dear Aunty Short I feel so incredibly lucky to have had an Aunt like you. The unconditional love you gave, the countless shopping trips we did to Shanton and Ezibuy and the laughs we shared. You really were one of a kind. I will remember you for having the best looking garden in the street and the cleanest house, walking behind us kids with a cloth and broom not to mention that bloody hoover of yours that never got a break. Thankyou for everything you did for Emma and I over the years, I am forever grateful. Give Nan and Pop a hug from us. We love you. Love Chavaun and Emma xxx

To my beautiful sister, best friend & Auntie, Short, you were a very special person. I will always remember the good times we shared, staying up till all hours of the morning laughing and talking about old times. Our shopping days with mum when i was back home, cleaning the house together was always a laugh because of what we found. So many more good times we shared but your awesome laugh and sweet nature is what we will always treasure. We love you very much. Rest easy Short, you will forever be in our hearts.

Aunty Short was one of a kind! I will always remember her laugh, her energy and the loving person she was. Hope your up there having a cuppa tea and a good catch up with Nan and pop. You will be so missed. Thanks for being my aunty. Love you Michelle xxxxxxx

I have very fond memories of my Auntie Short, her and my Uncle Doug used to look after me occasionally when my mum was up the pub, which I will be forever grateful for, although it was a difficult environment to relax in with the hoover going 24/7! My most recent memory was when me and Rebecca took Auntie Short on a roadie to Tawharanui, it had been many year since she had last been and we'll never forget her reaction on venturing around every corner 'Geez Dukes this is neat!' We'll always remember this as very special experience. You'll be in our hearts, forever loved and always remembered as a Proper Neat Auntie. With love and thoughts to all the family.
