KING, Dawn Marie
(formerly Horton):
Our most precious mum (our fruitbat). We thank you for a lifetime of love and giving us such a wonderful childhood growing up on a Southland farm. For all the cuddles, laughter, and nurturing when we were little. When we got older we thank you for always having our backs, no matter what. For showing us all how to be mothers. You showed us how to just keep moving slowly forward when life got really hard and maybe the hardest lesson of all - when one door closes another one opens. A door has closed for you now but we take comfort in the belief that another door has opened, one that will never close. Reunited with Dad after all these years.
‘‘Love you more.’’
Your daughters, Joanne, Tania, Carmen, and Lynn (nee Horton)
