To all Cath's family, my sincere sympathy on your sad loss. I have only just returned from overseas and had not known about Cath's passing. Kind regards Tony Garing
Deepest Sympathy in the loss of a loving Mother Grandmother and lifelong friend. The Robertson, Queripel families have been in my family's lives through three generations and have shared in our bereavement as Mother, Father and sisters have passed on and memories have been deeply personal . We have watched and shared a very moving service. Take care, Sharon and Ron.
Dear Queripel and Robertson Family, I send my deepest condolences. I can see the family resemblance in the photos. The photo I have posted is Gladys my mother. What a wonderful age. I look forward to make the connection over the coming weeks. I send much love to you all Heather Rogers
Cath was my mother, Dorothy's cousin, their father's were brothers, John and my much loved Grandad Harry Queripel. It has always meant a lot to me to have met Cath and Frank and their 4 boys at age 13 with my lovely Dad, Alf Sutton. What a joy too to meet again 5 years ago with my husband Bruce and feel again Cath's warmth, care and passion for her ancestry and family connections. Her spirit is clearly continuing alive and well with you all and always in my heart. Thankyou for keeping in touch. Lynnette Tasker.
remembering the wonderful times spent at Waimangaroa sharing time with Uncle Frank and Aunty Cath and their boys, thinking of you all Judy, Eric and family
