Sorry to hear of your loss of your lovely mother. My name is John England and was an old friend of your Dad, Fred, through the national dairy association. He was a well respected man in the dairy industry and managers association. Sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you. John England

Mum and Your Mum met through Golf at Kaitake, and shared a friendship along with Fred, which they enjoyed for many years. I am unable to attend Your Memorial to Elsa but my thoughts will be with you all. Kind regards, Raewyn Keller.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Elsa who like Fred was a very fine person whom I greatly admired and respected. Your Mum was just a nice person who saw good in everyone and if the world was full of people like Elsa there would not be a problem in this world. It is the end of an era for your family and it will be a sad day in that respect, but it will be a day in which you can reflect on what a wonderful life and what a wonderful mother Elsa was to you all. Your mother also had a good dry sense of humour which I appreciated. Your Mother was extremely intelligent I think and at times even though Elsa was very reserved it would show through.
