Glenys has been in our family since I was about 8 and has always a huge part of us. Loved the way she was a great wife mother and Nana. The many times we visited there was always time for a cuppa and a chat and the home was always filled with children's laughter and fun. You will be sorely missed and much loved forever. Annette and Gary Australia.

Spent many holidays at your house nana back in the younger years with all the fishing trips and boxing trips or training.and you would always say to me at the end of the holidays when you going to move up here and box for Rotorua central boxing.have a lot of memories.so would say would have got in trouble with grandad hahah.and the first time you took me to big fresh (the supermarket) and told me a could have a free fresh bun.i was shocked cause we never had a big fresh. Or when I use to let granddads pig dogs out when he was at work. Could here you yell out.you better get the days away before grandad gets home from work. I don’t think grandad still knows to this day.(sorry grandad) Will solely be missed from my self Christine and our kids. Rest in peace nana. Don’t cause a ruckus up there 🥊 🥊 🥊🥊🥊🥊

Glenys was a key factor in my life. We spent many a day together. Laughing all day long. She was generous and genuine. What you see is what you got. May you rest in peace my love. May Rex and your family treasure the memories.
