So sad to learn of the passing of a dear family friend, who to me was Aunty Betty.
Only 4 years of age when we first met in our family home in Invercargill. It seemed you were always in my life. I have many happy memories of you and mum and the fun you had. So sad I and Campbell can't share time at the service for you.

Love Karen

Farewell Betty your life was long and your contribution extensive. From the time I was a small child, you were a legend in our family. Three generations of relationship through migration, work, adversity and pure joy. My tears are not of sadness but of thankful jubilation for the richness you wove into our lives just by being you. May you rest in peace accompanied by our love and fond memories.
