Beth and Holger, So sorry to hear of Coral's passing. I have such fond memories of my time with her, Norton and you all at Disneyland all those years ago. A real sweetie. Love Alison

Dear Bryan and families, I have already left a message on the other tribute page, but I must say a very big thank you for sharing the live video of dear Coral's funeral service, yes it was hard going, but absolutely beautiful, thank you all once again, keep smiling, keep well and keep safe. Love to you all. Regards Jean Hastie.
It was a privilege to be able to share in your family's moving and beautiful farewell to Coral via livestream, Brian. You and Coral must be so proud of them all. As former Chaplain at Tainui what I remember most about Coral was the way her eyes would light up when you were there. Your love and faithfulness are an example to us all. God be with you in this time of change and may your family His hands and voice of comfort and assurance. aroha nui Sue Pickering

Dear Bryan, I was sorry to read of Coral's death this week. It has been a long and difficult time for you and you should be proud of your devotion to her care. Joan Gaines
Dear Bryan, I am Peter and Clare Munn's eldest daughter, Therese. You were great friends with my parents and I visited Coral with Mum when you were living in Lower Hutt many years ago. I am very sad for your loss, Bryan. I know you and Coral were devoted to each other. Take care and good wishes. Therese
Dear Bryan and family Coral, I'm sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I know that you were loved, I saw it in Bryan's eyes when he talked about you and proudly showed me your photo. Know that you will be missed. Kind regards Sue Black
