What a grand age , so sorry for your loss Maxine and family. I must say your mum was very kind to me as a teenager. Kindest regards, much love to you all. Rip .
On the night we took ownership of Maison Monique, I met a lady who said she came from just outside Dunedin, Waitati. I and my family grew up there. Lost touch with Melva sadly. Rest in peace Melva, you have earned it. Sorry that I am unable to attend funeral as I will be out of town. Barbara and Ward Reid nee Brenssell
To Alvin and Helen and all your wider family, Please accept our love and sympathy with the sad passing of your mother Melva Allan. May you find much comfort and strength in the happy memories of your mother and all she bequeathed to you. With much love, Martin and Jeanette Knudsen, formerly of Te Puna
Alvin, Suzanne and Maxine sorry to hear of your mother's sudden passing. Glad I saw her being her bubbly self on Christmas eve when I dropped by and gave her Sheryl's traditional xmas present. I know she will be sorely missed. Now they can both argue about what plants should go where etc somewhere up there. My deepest sympathy. Harmen Grouwstra
We have lovely memories of Melva and Ken through many years, starting when my father(Brian Wilson) worked in their kiwi fruit orchard (1970's). We remember Melva as an incredibly hard worker and she loved her ducks! We send our heartfelt condolences to Alvin & Helen, Sue & Kim, Maxine & Mark and their families. Love from Grant & Michelle Savage & Marilyn Wilson
