Dear Neil and family. We are so very sorry for your loss. We will remember Elaine's wonderful smile and kind words always, when we think of her. Lulu treasures the times she had with her great Aunty and how interested and enthusiastic she was about her life. Heartfelt love and condolences from the Crofskey's (Alan and Linley's son Darryl and family).

Dear Neil and family,
The Bailey family send their condolences to you all in your sad loss of Elaine. We also remember Alister and Linley and their children too as they grieve the loss of their sister. If road conditions were better I would have joined you today to farewell Elaine. I will watch the live-stream. Elaine was in my class at SGHS from 1952 and little did we know then that we would become step-sisters. I will miss her very much
Much love from Lynette.
Lynette Garnett, Christchurch
To Neil and family, I was sad to hear the news from Adrian, and our thoughts are with you all at this very sad passing of a loved Elaine. Elaine’s Christmas letters have kept us up to date with all the Lawson news over the past years. We have had many happy times together when Keith was around but we hang on to those great memories as each branch gets less. Sorry not to be with you on Thursday, but very sincere condolences to you all. Love Alma Blaikie and family.

Sorry I couldn't get back down for the funeral as my Radiation had started. I do treasure the few days I did have with Elaine the week before. So special my big Sister.
