That gorgeous wedding photo brings back memories as I had the privilege of being a flower girl with Moira. I even still have the pearls Shirley gave me to wear at the wedding. Shirley was a good friend to Mum who always asked to go see her when we were down in Hawera on holiday. A lovely lovely lady — RIP Shirley

A truly beautiful lady, always smiling and never complaining. It has been my pleasure and privilege to know you. You will be missed.
