We would like to take a moment
To thank everyone today
Who has been there for us lately
In their very own ways
For the thoughtout cards and flowers
The food appearing in endless supply
The tasty beverages arriving
Or for simply popping by
To everyone who visited
Especially travelling from afar
To those who messaged or made a phone call
You all know who you are
To those who called on Wendy
While she was sitting at the house
Or those who enjoyed a lunch date
She loved those more than anything else
Thank you Hospice Southland
And all health professionals involved
Amazing care was given
Which as time went on evolved
J Fraser and Sons,
Many thanks to all your team
Dave Fraser and Sally Tily
Your insight and organization were a dream
So from Peter and the kids
many thanks again
We are lucky to have you good people
Now that Wendy is out of pain
Now the only problem is
How we will live this life
Without our beautiful mum,
nana and precious wife
To say she leaves a gap is an understatement, all the same
But today we thank everyone of you
And ask that you continue to speak her name
