Lyndall Dianne MASON

Dearest friend,
Over the last 12 years it has been a privilege to support you in your battle with this heinous illness. You have been an inspiration to medical staff, friends and family alike.
You were always so brave on the outside, I witnessed first hand how you would challenge any negative diagnoses, and would ask for a positive Plan B, all the while on the inside, being terrified. Your goal was to get more time to watch Matthew and Sarah mature into honest and caring adults. Their care for you in these last weeks shows your goal was achieved.

This year turned into your most physically, mentally and emotionally taxing one, being away from your home, Bentley, friends and Sarah, (who coordinated your team of friends and extended family members as Ranui carers with military precision), it was a privilege to be one of this team, caring for you at Ranui, or in Ward 6B.

We ran out of time to do together any of the things we planned for our retirements. I will carry your memory in my heart until the end of my days dear friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Deb and Richard Hay

So very sad for you all - she put up such a battle to stay with you. A kind, caring amazing lady gone way to soon. Thinking of all the family and her many friends at this sad time

What a privilege it was to call you my cousin Lyndall. You stared down and fought through enormous adversity with such determination. Your lovely smile, sense of humour and real love of those important to you were always at the forefront of your mind. I really enjoyed our reminiscing and loved you very much. Matthew and Sarah - we are so very sorry for the loss of your incredible Mum. The way you have looked after her and helped her was just beautiful and very special to observe. I know she was so proud of you both. Our love and sincere condolences to you both.

I’m so sorry to read this very sad news, my thoughts are with you at this very sad time, love and hugs to you all 😘❤️

Sarah and Matthew I have admired your mums strength and resilience over many years. Her generous heart, thirst for life and incredible work ethic I will remember. She contributed so much to others. Thinking of you at this time. Fond memories of a treasured colleague and friend. Arohanui.

In a time of grief, nobody is ever prepared to lose a loved one.

Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to the families at this difficult time. Sending caring thoughts your way to support you through this.

So sorry to hear that Lyndal has passed away. I have fond memories of our teenage years in Winton, she was always so bright and bubbly every time we crossed paths and always had a beautiful smile. Both of our parents were good friends and Alwyn would always keep us up to date on how her “girls” were doing in their lives. She has had a hard road to hoe the past years,but had a huge positive outlook, a very strong mother to be so proud of. Condolences to you all.

To Mattew,Sarah and extended family I send my Deepest Sympathy in the sad passing of your Treasured Mother Lyndall.As a friend of her later sisterJuliette for over 45 years, our family extend Sincere Condolences. It has been such a hard journey. Memories are your legacy of Love. Susan Walsh and family💗

My love and deepest sympathy Sarah and Matthew, on the loss of your beloved mother - such a strong, positive, gentle person who fought so hard her terrible battle, surrounded by a committed network of wonderful women who were always there for her - may you rest in peace now dear Lyndall.

Lovely memories of a thoughtful, kind and caring colleague. A wonderful role model of courage and positivity in the face of adversity. Treasure the memories of your mum, Sarah and Matt.

I am deeply sorry to know of Lyndall's death and send my love and very deepest sympathy to all of her family. I was in one of her patchwork classes for quite a long time and appreciate so much her teaching, skills and help all given so generously. What an amazing lady who had many of life's challenges thrown at her and she faced it all with grit and determination with the love she had for her children always at the forefront of everything she did and the decisions she made. She will now be at peace with no more suffering and I will always remember her with much love and gratefulness for the wonderful person she was.

I am going to miss seeing your cheerful smile each morning and the way you took care of everything & everyone. I will always remember how you took the time to chat (even though you had a million other jobs on the go) you were never too busy for us. You were one of the best Lyndall xx

I have photos in my photo albums back to when we lived next door as neighbours. The Warren girls played with Stocker girls over many years.
Our families were close and we shared much of our young lives together.
So much fun, laughter and good old fashioned trouble to remember.
Fondest memories of Charlie, Alwyn, Dad and Mum going to balls, golf do’s and Christmas or New Year get togethers.
Reading these messages tells me what a wonderful kind courageous woman you became and the impact you had on others lives.
A good life lead but taken way too soon.
Remembered always.

So sad to hear you lost the battle Lyndall. You put up a brave fight. May you rest in peace. ❤️
