12.06.1941 – 5.03.2025
Gary, Jan, Selwyn, Sandra, Diane, Paul, Wayne and Kelly, and families, wish to sincerely thank you all for the overwhelming support and kindness shown in so many ways when Mary passed away. The lovely flowers, beautiful cards, food and messages were greatly appreciated. A special thanks to Sally and Hamish from J Fraser and Sons Ltd for their compassion and lovely service. Thanks too, to the staff of Ascot Care Home for making the last 11 months of Mary's life filled with love, fantastic care, friendship, entertainment and enjoyable activities. A huge thank you to the many social groups that Mary belonged to – for making Mary's transition from Tokanui to town so easy and pleasurable for her. To those who attended her service, we thank you for joining in our colourful farewell for Mary. Please accept this as a personal thank you to you all.
Though absent you are very near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
