Heather was my best friend. We lost contact after she married. Our mums had afternoon tea together every day. Even though We lived only 2 doors apart I called for Heather every morning. I wish I had seen her when we were near her home, She was unable to see us that day. I am so sad. Nicname Topsy )-
Nana Heather, I am a late comer to the family. But the time that I got to know you, I knew you were a great person and everything your granddaughter paula would tell me about you. All memories filled happiness and laughter and joy. You will be missed by many and never forgotten. May you rest in peace.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories Nana. We love and miss you
My Nana was one of the kindest, purest and most loving souls I have ever known and was always there to ensure I felt loved and appreciated. Words can't even begin to explain how thankful I am to have shared so many precious memories with her. I will always love you Nana x
My dear, sweet, precious Ma. I miss you. You saw me enter this world, and I watched you depart. I have learned that there is never enough time to say goodbye. I am learning to fill the huge space in my life that was filled with your warmth and love with the memories that had lain quietly resting within me, now woken, and alive with the gathering of our family, supporting each other, sharing stories, some that have been half buried with time. You were the kindest and most gentle soul, and I am so happy that I was chosen to be yours. I will see you again one day my Ma, but for now rest well.
I love and miss you so much Nana. I will always cherish my childhood memories with you and how much of a fun, loving, and supportive grandma you were when I was with you, and when I was far away. When I look back at my time in New Zealand, I always think of you. I remember our adventures with a big smile on my face, forever grateful for the time we had together. Lots of love, Izzie xxx
We have lost a special Auntie who was a most adored sister to Marjorie. With both of them gone has been very sad time but knowing they are together with there parents is a blessing. Will miss the chats and laughs. Your favorite nephew Laney
