Fond memories of childhood Christmases and gratitude for the loving care she gave to our Nana, Marie Holmes. Her homemade cards and carefully created jewellery. A place of refuge in Whangarei during my difficult teens and a honeymoon stopover in Kaiwaka with our 6 week old daughter. Rest peacefully Lorraine, you will be remembered by us all. From Toni, John, Kiera and Liam and on behalf of Roy and her sister-in-law, our late mum Heather

I will not forget the wonderful care Lorraine gave to husband Neil Holmes (My brother) and to my Mother, Marie Holmes, when I was living Overseas. I will remember her with great affection. May she Rest in Peace.

So devastated we can't get there to say farewell Mum. Gone but never forgotten. Peter, Alicia, Damian and Nathan.

I am going to miss the talks nan and it won't be the same calling into mum's and you not being there. R I P nan 🥰🥰
