Tributes

Janice you’ve always been kind, considerate, friendly, a one of a kind fun straight shooter since we met via Helen in Melbourne. We loved seeing you in Australia and New Zealand when we could, and thank you for welcoming us into your home and heart when we visited. It is deeply saddening that you’ve left us. New Zealand won’t be the same without you, and hopefully you’re now at peace. Special thoughts to Koty. Lots of love Graham and Doreen

Janice you have been part of our family for over 60 years and will be missed. Only time and tears will take away the grief, that is what they are for and grief in the price we pay for love. Colleen and Bob
