At our first meeting for the New Year held yesterday (12th February) members of New Plymouth Fuchsia 2000 Club a tribute to the passing of Loraine was remembered with sadness. Loraine was a past member and following the passing of her Mother (who was our first Club Patron) Loraine became Patron of our Club. Senior members reminisced of the days they visited the Veale Road Fuchsia Nurseries where Loraine was always willing to share her Fuchsia knowledge that created many lovely memories. These memories we now treasure. In Fuchsia Friendship Rest in Peace Heaven must have a lovely Fuchsia Nursery and Garden.

Such a lovely farewell tribute for your mother Duane and Trina. She was, as you say, a gentle soul and I recall the very carefree happy times we had while working together at the NP city council. Regards to all the family, June

Aroha nui e hoa,big hugs and love to you my friend ,wayne and whanau🧡 x always in my thoughtsx

The beaches will feel lonely Flowers will feel ignored Your friends shall miss you The family very much too We shall love you forever.

Mum waited for Grandad to come and show her the way on what would have been his 109th birthday. They both had the same kind and gentle hearts, and it was fitting that they now share a common date. “And they sailed away forever and a day by the light of the golden moon” We love you Mum 💔
