It’s been a long life, Mum. You have overcome so many challenges.

It’s a great honour to call you our Mum, “ attitude is everything in this life” was your Motto, and you had it in spades.
Rest now Mum, know you were loved and appreciated.
Kiss Grant for us.
Love you to the Moon and Back
Onwards & Upwards!!
See you in a long time!

Dearest Janet, it was a shock to hear from Gay of your passing. I will always cherish the times in Hamilton and remember with fondness the last day in Hamilton, when you brought sandwiches to see us off on our move down South. Your yearly friendship calendar will always remind me of you. I will see to buy one each year in memory of you. Rest in peace, my dear friend. It was an honour knowing you. ๐
My dearest Janet, I was so shocked to hear from Gay of your passing. I will miss our phone calls and hearing all the news of Gay, Bruce, and granddaughters of whom you were so proud of. Your friendship calendar hanging in my study will always remind me of you. I am so pleased we stopped off to say a quick 'hello' on route to Wellington last year, September, before catching the ferry back to the South Island. Rest in peace, my dear friend. ๐
