Dear Bev, Thank you for being such a great neighbour and friend when I moved next door all those years ago. We had some lovely times and then we got to work together too. Life tends to send you on different journeys and I was so happy to get back in touch with you when I moved home to the UK. We had a lovely catch up and laugh. Now you are on your own journey. My thoughts are with Laurence and the family - you will be so very missed. Love you - Sally XXXX

Fondest regards, Linda & Bill Maha xoxo

Bev, It was so nice to sit with you on Friday. You opened your eyes and tried to say Hi then slept peacefully while I sat by your side. We will all miss you so much. You fought a strong battle but now no more pain, fly free our beautiful friend.

Love and hugs to you Laurence and all the family, our very deepest sympathy.
Our thoughts are with you all, Love Joan & Graham, Taieri Mouth xxxx

Deepest sympathy Laurence and family, I was a neighbour of Bev’s when she lived in O’Byrne Street with the 4 boys who have now grown.

Fond memories over many years of dear Bev. An amazing person who bore her health set backs with fortitude.. Love the photo, and catching sight of Laurence in the background in the kitchen. Such a supportive helpmate to his beloved.
Our deep sympathy to all the family . We are holding you close to our hearts, and will be with you in spirit and on line in Te Anau at 2 p.m. on Saturday.. God bless.

Significant memories come flooding back - a gardener who nurtured naked ladies in her garden, and was so understanding that she gifted Laurence and me a feature, workshop calendar to hang in our newly built Aparima mai-mai. A beautiful person that it was a priviledge to know.
