To Tom, William, Thomas and families. So sorry to read of Mandy's passing, a wonderful woman at the peak of her profession in Mental Health. The South Canterbury area was so fortunate to have her knowledge and caring nature, and the countless people she helped. Mandy just had a presence that made you feel all the better for the time with her. Tom, William and Thomas we share your loss, and I can't imagine how tough this is for you all to lose such a wonderful wife and mum. RIP Mandy. Brett and Anne Jenkins, Lake Hawea.

Dearest Mandy. When I left work a few weeks ago for a holiday you said, "Go and enjoy your time together with Ian and I look forward to catching up with you on your return " Sadly, now I know that won't be but I do know you will be with me and around us in our office at FAMHS when I do return. Working and nursing with you since the eighties in our chosen field of mental health has been a real privilege dear Mandy. You were a shining star with such passion, caring, humour, calm, love and advocacy right to the end.
I will miss you so much but you will always remain in my heart and happy memories.
To Tom, Willie, Katie and Angus, Thomas and Katie - sorry we won't be home on Saturday to be with you for the celebration of Mandy's wonderful life but our love will be with you all. We will be live streaming her service.
Rest in LOVE and Rest in PEACE Mandy. Love you.
Vicki and Ian Wooffindin. Xx
