To David, Malvin, Karyn, Adele and families,

So sad for you all losing your lovely Mum. Our mum's had a very special friendship, it always amazed me how long they could talk for, they were more like sisters and it just felt like we were family, especially in the early days when we had those trips up and down the country, lots of memories. One was getting free ice cream at the picture theatre where your mum worked. Nothing about this is easy, your Mum and Dad are going to be so sadly missed, we are thinking of you all and sending lots of love, Janene, Neil and family xx

To David Mel Karyn Adele and families
I was shocked and saddened to hear of your mums stroke and later passing having txting and almost meeting up in gold coast recently
she was always a strong lady and would always have your back
I always thought of her as aunty Bob uncle and you all as cousins and some great early memories in Timaru cruising the streets in the old morris Oxford or whatever vechile we all fitted
into during school holiday visits
Then there was always the thought of the red strap hanging in the kitchen to keep us in line ( never saw in use tho )
Thinking of you all at this time lots of love to you and your families
Love Brent & Janine Gauldie
