I wish to express my sadness at the passing of Val.
Val was one the last few remaining members of the large Pemberton whanua.
My mother would visit Val every time she came south to be with her father, Jim Pemberton and her sister Daph Carter.
Coral, Daph and Jim have past along with many others of the Pemberton whanua.
Every time I visited Val, I was warmly welcomed.
Thank you for the gift of your mother.
