When Syd and Jane became our neighbours in Ardleigh (UK) they both made a huge impact on our lives. We remember their humour, wisdom and compassion. They meant a great deal to us. They referred to us as their "extended family". Our wreath of Spring flowers placed on Syds grave is a tribute to them both. We send our love to all their family at this time.

Heartfelt condolences to Janes families in England and New Zealand Our thoughts are with you all Janet and Mick Hughes💐

I never met you in person but you are a big part of my life. Good old technology that we were able to meet on the computer

Nanny Jane, thank you for welcoming me into the family with so much grace and love. I have always felt like one of the family with you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your kindness and your strength of spirit with me. Love to you always from Maryana xx

Thank you for being a wonderful mother-in-law. Missing you very much and thinking of you today and always. Diolch!

So very sad to hear of Jane's passing. We feel very fortunate to have spent some time with her recently on our visit back to NZ ' A strong, kind woman' & My inspiration, thank you Jane . Our thoughts & love are with Margaret, Lynda, Sonia & her extended family.❤️

Thank you for looking after me over the last 12 years. I will miss you greatly. 🐶 We we're great companions and friends together ❤️ I'm sorry if I was naughty (sometimes). I've got selective hearing so would just run away any chance I got .... but I aways came back, finally. 🦮 You well and truly spoilt me ..... you would go to the hairdressers and I would be sent off to the groomers .... who's a pretty boy ???🐕 We would walk for miles, I'm sure you forgot that I've only got little legs and not built like a greyhound ... but I'd get my own back by stopping at every bush or tree 🌳 I will be starting my new adventures soon when I'm going touring around the country with Margaret and Vince in the caravan. I will try to behave myself!! ❤️ from your boy Giz 💔

This very special photo of Mum was taken on Mum’s 80th birthday - we had a lovely family reunion at Mt Maunganui ❤️
