Tributes

Dear Steve and Kath and Families. We were very sorry to hear of the loss of dear Aunty Val, the last of the Curtis family. While we did not see much of Val in recent years, we did keep in contact and always in our thoughts. While we were unable to come to Val's service we did watch the live stream and the tributes brought back fond memories of Val and our visits to Cobden in our young days. Rest In Peace Val and we hope that we will keep in regular contact with you and your families in future. Please let us know if you are coming down our way as we would like to catch up with you. Best Wishes and our Sympathies. Mike and Jeanette Henry. (Rangiora)
