She will be remembered as a lovely Lady and I feel it was a privilege to have known her and spent time with her. I still have a flower in my garden that she gave to me. My very deepest sympathy to you all

To May’s family. I have lovely memories of visiting May when young. May was my Mum’s cousin. Isobel (Hinton) Fraser. I know Mum always say May when she was back in Invercargill. Condolences to you all.

To Bruce, Gill, Jenny and all the family. Condolences and our thoughts are with you at this time. I remember Aunty May as being a gracious lady, always having a smile and a kind word. Talking with Mum who is now 96 said she wouldn't be able to attend, not up to the travel but passes on her thoughts at this time. Even when we expect the passing of a loved one it often still comes comes as a shock. I am not not sure if I can make it through for the funeral but will try and livestream it, thinking of you all on the day.
Julian, Teresa, Luke and Haley.
