To the family, Neil and I send our deepest sympathy on Ngaire's passing. Ngaire was a great friend to my mother, Eunice Hay, and that is how we got to know both her and Neville. They all had some fun times together. We live in Wellington, so haven't visited Timaru for a few months, and were saddened to hear that she had been so ill. She was a special lady and will be sorely missed.

My condolences to the family in losing a Mum and friend. I grew to know Ngaire through her attendance at a lunch group I used to run, and admired her unwavering steadiness and outgoing personality, which helped others. A sad loss for all, Judith Fernie.
