Sending our family's sympathy to you all with the sad loss of your Mum. I recall May asking my now late parents when they were both ill at Christchurch hospital what could she do for them to help. Her idea was to paint a beautiful painting of mount Cook to hang in their room at Ranui House which still hangs there today. Rest Easy May.

I remember May and Ally from the SCEPB, what great years demonstrating appliances, especially the microwaves! I enjoyed May's humour and wonderful smile. Thanks for the memories.

To Micheal, Mark ,Vicky and families,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the sad
loss of May , we spent a lot of time together in
Twizel and her love was coming to art and the other sections of the club, May was a very social lady who was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed.
I missed her when she shifted to Timaru. Xx
Rest in Peace my friend.

Really sad to hear of Mays passing. my sympathies to all the families.
May pretty much lived life to the full. She was always on the go.
She was a great friend to a lot of people here in Twizel.
Most of my time with May was related to the art group of which she was a valued and productive member.
Rest in peace May.
