Deepest Sympathy to all families. Fay was a lovely lady, a great neighbour in Elles Road, Otautau.We could go back at times with many interesting conversations.
We played golf and bowls together, over time.
Fay always had a nice smile on her face.
Farewell my friend, I will always remember the 1st August each year. Never to be forgotten.
