Krissy and I would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to everyone who sent condolences, messages and support over the past few weeks. The loss of our mum, grandma and great grandma has left a void, but we are inspired and blessed by her remarkable life and legacy.

Condolences to Krissy and Maria and family. My earliest memory of Evelyn and maybe John was a winter holiday in Taupo with Lorna and George.I may have been about four. I also remember Evelyn coming and playing with me when we lived on Tempsky Road next door to where she lived with her parents.In my older years at school Lorna and George tool her and i a few times to Havelock North for summer holidays last two weeks in January . We ate lots of fruit and bought home many boxes as well. I also remember taking a day off school and helping her and Gerry shift from Okaiawa to Manutahi. I even drove to Manutahi that day having not long had my liscense. In later years i always visited them in Surrey Street when i was here. Graham

What a beautiful service, and so heartwarming to hear all the cherished memories shared. Although we only had the privilege of knowing Evelyn for a short time, her kindness and empathy made us feel like part of the family. Sending love to you all

Dear Maria and family Sending heartfelt sympathy at this very hard time. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and your mother's love is a memory that will live on. Sending love xxx
