Dearest Aunty Fay, we have been blessed with having had you in our lives. I will remember the strength that you have shown and hold it in my heart forever. I remember fondly the visits with you and Uncle Trevor from my young days, and catching up with you and Marilyn on my visits home in recent times. It does not seem real that you are no longer with us, and it is a great loss to us all. Rest in peace. Much love always to you and to those you have left behind, particularly your wonderful daughters Marilyn and Janice x Ruth
Auntie Fay You have always been a huge part of our lives and will be missed so much. It's so hard to say goodbye to such a loved and special auntie and very much loved and adored big sister to my Mum Doreen. You will be forever in our hearts. Sending lots of love to Marilyn, Janice, Geoff, Tanya, Jason and Mum (Doreen), Dale and Eric. From Kerry, Cullen and Bree xx
Dearest Auntie Fay, I hope you knew in life how special you were to me. I am very grateful for always receiving your warmth, support and straight talking. When times are not going to plan I am inspired by your approach to just dig in and get on with it as best you can, and to do it with a smile. During our together times in Palmerston North this was always helped by my regular supply of your delicious apricot jam, which was comfort in a jar. Love and fondest memories always. All my love to you all dear Marilyn, Janice, Geoff, Tanya, Mark, Jacob, Jason, Jo and Mila, Mum, Auntie Dale and Uncle Eric. I am thankful that I can join you all to say goodbye on Tuesday via the streaming service. Debs xx
