Dear Bing, Sharlene and Janelle and families
We were so sad to hear of dear Coraleen’s sudden passing. I will miss our get togethers when I am back on the farm - it was always a highlight of our time in Southland. She was a wonderful friend and she never changed.
We are sending our love and condolences to you all and will be watching the service on livestream

Bing, Sharleen, Janelle my heart goes our to you.

By Southland standards, I had not know Coraleen for so many years, less than 10. But in that short time she made such an impression and impact. I cannot put in to words my feelings at coming home from fishing to find a cake, scones or a cooked dinner, or a dozen eggs on my kitchen bench. I will never forget her “subtle” comments about me getting the fire going whilst her washing was on the line. Truely one in a million. Lumsden just will not be the same🥲.

Dear Bing and family, we are so sorry to hear of Coraleen’s passing. We just loved catching up with her on our visits to Lumsden. She was always so happy to see us and wanting to catch up on what had been going on. When we were there in March she was so interested in the going’s on. Always smiling and enjoying life. RIP lovely lady. Love Jane and Peter xx
