She was a lovely person I got to know when I lived in Invercargill she was my sister husband brother

I was so saddened to be told of Aunty Caroline's passing and will always treasure our last phone call a couple of weeks back, it was so hard to hear in your voice how much you were struggling but I know you are now resting peacefully and out of pain. I was looking through some photos the other day of when as a teenager I visited a house in Invercargill with friends and quickly became so excited when I found out it was your neighbour's, I so wish I had photos of you and the family from those times, as a teenager you never think about things like that and how they might become so important further through life's journey.. I was so sorry I was unable to attend the Service today due to work commitments in Dunedin but please know you have all been in my thoughts, hugs and love to all the family at this very sad time.

My heartfelt condolences to the Shaw, and the Gutsell families

"Mum, you left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, although we cannot see you, you're always at our side." Words can never express how much I love, adore you and how much I miss you already Mum. You were one of the strongest woman I know, fiercely independent and had a heart of gold. You raised me to trust my inner compass, to follow my heart and my dreams. I am forever grateful for the connection we had and how I never felt judged by you. You embraced me for me and made me feel so deeply loved. I will miss you terribly as a part of me has gone with you but I will forever have you in my heart and carry with you me everyday. Thank you for loving me, accepting me always, encouraging me and for being my Mum and the best Nana ever. “Love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.” ❤️‍🩹 Mum Forever In My Heart ❤️‍🩹
