Oh Judi. I was shocked to hear of your passing. I so enjoyed getting to know you at Rummikub,. I loved Your sense of humour and infectious smile. Sending my condolences to your family. Good bye Judi

Goodbye dear baby sister. More than 10 years since last we met, and I can still see you standing in your doorway in Hillsborough, waving goodbye. We didn’t know that it was the last time we would see each-other. When you were two you called me Awa. I still don’t know where it came from, but I remember when I was 12, coming back on the ferry from Lyttelton, while you and Ngaire waited on the wharf with mum and dad. They told me later that while the ship was still out in the harbour, you were calling, Awa, Awa. You were two years old. Time moves so fast. When we are young we think that there is lots of time left, and then, suddenly, it is gone. Goodbye Judi Awa (Youngest big brother, Leni)

Judi I remember when we were young, you were our favourite aunty. I remember we could always get you to take us to the park. I remember I wanted to be a Marching Girl like you. You left NZ to travel and settled in SA. I remember the photo's Nana shared of your life in SA and the man Fritz who was now your husband. I remember the first photo's of Bernard when he arrived. I remember the day you were so excited that another child was waiting for your love, along came Bianca. I remember when you brought your whole family back to NZ to live. I remember being back in your life again as an adult. I will always remember. You will always be in my heart, gone too soon. Love you always. XXXX Karen Karen

We are very sad to hear this unexpected news about Judi’s death. We have many memories of attending Keep on your Feet exercise classes with Judi, as well as the many times we took our dog Jarrah in to see her at home because Judi loved to see him and to give him a cuddle. We also helped Judi a few times during our time on the Body Corporate Committee and she was always very happy and thankful for the support. We know Judi was very proud of her children and she often talked about them to us. She will be missed by many residents at Waterview Estate. Rest in peace Judi.

Dearest Judi. Where do I even begin. I saw you On the Thursday, and was not expecting to receive this news. You were honestly one of the kindest ladies I knew. I was your carer, but we became good friends shared many stories about South Africa and had many great laughs. I always looked forward to seeing you, you truly were a special friend. You spoke so many times of your husband and how you missed him.. my Dear Judi you are now reunited. I will cherish our memories 😊You rest in eternal peace, fly with the angels sweet one. Condolences to Bernhard and family.

To Judi’s family. So sorry to learn of Judi’s passing. As a handyman in Waterview it was a pleasure to assist her with many “little jobs” during our 8 years as a near neighbour and friend. . She was the first resident in the Estate and would have watched it being developed. I enjoyed getting to know her. She can now Rest In Peace and be with her late husband.

Judi, we became friends through a collective of like minded aqua ladies. We will miss you at Aqua, having a chat over coffee, a laugh in the pool or recently socializing at the Omokoroa boat club. I will miss your sense of humour, straight talking and laughter. Fly high and be free.

Saddened to hear of the passing of my youngest sibling. Many years of no contact as I now live in Australia. My little sister was nicknamed diddims in the family at Quetta Street. The youngest of us four sibblings to leave this world. We lost contact after Jude moved to South Africa married Fritz and created her own family. Condolences to Diddim's children and friends. Brian Sayers. Big Brother.

Oh Judi. This has shocked me. I was going to ring you this week and sort out that coffee catch up.. My heart goes out to your family. Although we did not catch up much as children, due to living in different provinces, we both found ourselves in Tauranga and have regularly caught up for coffee. I loved swapping stories of our families and was excited for you when you told me you were planning to move closer to Bernard. Rest in Peace my lovely cousin. I will always have you in my thoughts. ..

Condolences to Bernard and Bianca Dearest Judi you were my best friend at school we shared so many laughs together You were my bridesmaid at our wedding and even when you were overseas we always kept in touch. Quetta Street and all the gang have so many good memories for me I can't believe your gone it was only 2 weeks ago that we texted each other Rest in peace dear friend Marianne Kennedy
