Deeply saddened to hear of Chris´s passing. She was truly one of the most beautiful souls I´ve had the privilege of knowing and working with-kind, compassionate, wise, and graceful. Her warmth and generosity touched so many lives, and her absence will be felt profoundly by all who knew her.

Chris was not only admired and respected, but genuinely loved. She had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, and her legacy of kindness will live on in the hearts of those she inspired.

Moe mai ra, e te wahine ataahua - rest in love, beautiful lady.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with you Roger, Emma, Angus and whanau as you navigate this immense loss. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and in the cherished memories you hold.

Ms Wyeth was a lovely, kind, and consistent teacher and DP. As a former student, and now a teacher myself, I have great respect for the professionalism she showed through my high school years and again when I visited the school in later years. I send my thoughts and prayers to her family and all her knew her.
