My Darling Andrea Our home was quiet during your last weekend as you were so sick and just felt no need for the radio or television; but it is even quieter now; not hearing your soft breathing noises; your loud radio playing constantly; your movements as you got up during the nights; sometimes also needing to turn the light on outside my room; or your asking our fur babies to move so you could get past. At times these could be annoying; but still are noises that I will treasure with love forever. I hope you enjoyed your service today; was not always on track; but your darling nieces in Joy and Kim helped keep up the banter that I started up front and everyone had a Joyous time. Many little stories being told and shared with all those close family and friends whom came to share with you their memories of working with you; just meeting you &/or being a work colleague of mine and knew how much I cared about you and of course often spoke about your antics. So My Love go well and talk to me often and know I Loved You Dearly and I know that you too Loved and Cared and worried about me & our family. We will carry on as best we can do and Ciaran & I will stay strong for one another also. Love forever Andrea; from Colleen and of course from Keisha and Tilly and all our other fur babies before them. xx

Kia rite e haere ana ki a tou tipuna..e rere atu,ka moemoea ra kaua e huria kaua e titiriohia nei..e haere ana e rere atu.pai Marie Girl

Saying goodbye is not easy. The legacy of your mahi continues in the many publications and through all those you nurtured and taught. What I will remember though is our kōrero and how supportive and loving you were. I will remember singing Neil Diamond songs way too loud with you. And I will always remember the deep love you had for your whānau, especially my Aunty Colleen and cousin Ciaran, and his lovely young whānau. Kia kaha e hoa. Aroha nui.

Our darling Ange Thank you for taking care of our Aunty Colleen and my little cousin Ciaran. As sad as I am, I know you are now at peace. Your dementia was something you told me you wished on no one. I still remember Christmas day and you giving me my first chicken. Going with you to pick up your first Old English Sheep Dog. Our happy days at New Plymouth Morley street. And many more. Soft ball, you playing nurses with me. You had a big heart which I was lucky to see. Love you always Joy bells xxxx
