Aunty Beryl I was very sad to hear of your passing this week. You were an amazing aunt, never missing a birthday, and spoiled my daughters with lovely gifts from New Zealand when they were born. I loved hearing and reading about your travels and life experiences. I have a copy of your book that I will treasure and share with my daughters when they are older. I always enjoyed discussing our family genealogy and appreciate the fact that you spent so much time documenting our family history. Thank you for genuinely caring about us and taking an interest in our lives. You will be missed. Love Sarah, Mike, Stella and Poppy. (Cape Town, South Africa).

Beryl Thank you for being you-your tenacity and fierce independence was admirable. You were always interested in others. When we visited you, you would immediately enquire about family and life in Plimmerton. You recalled family connections so well. It was a treat to hear you reminisce about your childhood days, time nursing and years at the Pass. So many memories and observations - a life of rich experiences. Indeed, a life well spun. With our sympathy to your family and with love, Rick and Helen Webber
