I was very sorry to hear of Theresa's passing, please accept my deepest sympathy. I knew Theresa through the Invercargill Croquet Club, she was always cheery and ready with a helping hand. She was a lovely lady who will be greatly missed by us all.

My work colleague but more than that, a friend, you are going to be missed deeply. Will always treasure the conversations and laughter. Deepest sympathy to all the family.

Was very sad to hear of Theresa’s passing. I always looked forward to her visits, and will miss our conversations very much. She always brightened my day. I just wish I had taken the opportunity to let her know she was more than just a client and I will miss her very much♥️ Shelley (Bliss Hair Design)

So sad to hear of Theresa's passing. I knew Theresa from when I was a teenager. I always found her to be such a beautiful & caring lady. My deepest sympathy to all her beautiful family. Strength and love to you all. Bless

Theresa put up with a lot of Cala and my young foolish ways - but she was always there and supported and guided us - and all the rest of the family :)
So a few words for her.
You can smile because she has lived
You can open your eyes and see all she has left
You can be full of the love and friendship you shared
You can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can do what she would want - smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Do the things that make you happy - read a book, drink a glass of wine
You will be missed by so many Theresa.
Lots of love to the family Ngaire & Craig

Michelle, Karla, Brent, Roger & family,
Thinking of you all very much during this time and so sorry that we couldn't be there with you to morn, share memories and just be together as a family. I will fondly remember all the time I spent with Theresa both here in Forster and in NZ, and everything that she did for my beautiful wife, no words are enough.
Alex and Mckenna will no doubt be told how wonderful Theresa was and I look forward to seeing you all again over there soon, though it won't quite be the same, I know nothing would make Theresa happier than watching from above her family together.
Lots of love
Aaron
