My dear cousin Maureen, one of the happiest experiences of my life was being a bridesmaid at their wedding. Love from Paulina
So sorry to read of Maureen's passing. She was a lovely lady and like another mum on the shearing run. Lots of memories of those times. Regards, Ron & Sheralee Newman
Big hugs to Denise Warren and Lyall. So sorry I couldn't be there to celebrate Mornings life. My best childhood memories were from the farm days in the old house and then the new house. Morning was always my favourite Aunty and I feel so privileged to have been part of her journey. Give Uncle Kevin a big hug from us and have a cup of tea. Love you.

To Warren, Denise, Lyall and family’s, I just wanted to say I’m thinking of you all on this sad day, Auntie Maureen was such a beautiful person, always smiling whenever arrived at the farm to stay, making us feel so welcome and as a kid I loved every minute going to visit on the farm, such special memories I have. Love Jennifer (Bunn), Brendon, Richie, Blake and Liam Hill xxxx
To Warren, Denise and Lyall...Linda and I (Tex) wish to convey our heartfelt sympathies to you after the passing of your much loved mum.

Such an inspirational lady who made us feel so welcome so much so that New Zealand is Our Second Home! Rest in peace now Maureen, thank you for the memories All our love Moss , Deb & Sue ( England ) xxx
Memories of Maureen from England (Andrea's family) Maureen was a wonderful, friendly and loving person, who will be sadly missed. We have special memories of a visit Maureen made to us with Andie, Cami & Soph in May 2011. We visited lots of places with Maureen, such as Shugborough Hall, Chatsworth House which she loved, especially the landscaped grounds and gardens. We also managed a few days away in the Lake District which was very enjoyable. Towards the end of her trip the whole family were able to celebrate her birthday at a local pub, this was quite a noisy affair with 6 young kids and lots of adults, plus a cake with many candles. I also have many fond memories from the visits Geoff and I made to NZ, especially visiting the farm and being made welcome at the dog trials by Maureen and her friends. But finally our biggest thank you to Maureen is for the way she welcomed and the support she has always given to Andie, Lyall and the kids, who will miss her dreadfully. kind regards Catherine, Alison, Joanne and their families

To the Bunn family, So sorry to hear of Maureen's death. I have such fond memories of Maureen (&Kevin) back in Inglewood Rugby Club days. More recently, it was great to re-connect with Maureen, when Warren & I ran into her on many occasions in Taranaki base hospital. Maureen was always smiling and laughing with such a caring, loving nature. When Warren passed away, I really appreciated her phone call to me. I am sad that I am away at present and won't be able to make her funeral. But I know that all of her children will give her a wonderful send off and fitting tribute, as she deserves. Sending love & sympathy and many kind wishes to you all, Pauline Sutton
