Mum had a wonderful and happy life living all of it in or around Wellington.
She’ll be missed by all that knew her.
Marg, what a treasure to know you. I will always remember for your love of family, strength, determination, sensibility, style and delight in fish and chips. Your 90th birthday was a treat with warmth and giggles – especially when you modeled with aplomb the scarf from the French family. You will be missed, yet you will always be with us. Moe mai ra – rest in peace.
Dear Margaret, thank you for being the hospitable and loving mother in-law that you were. You always preferred to serve rather than being served on. “How was your sleep” Would you like something to eat? Would you like something to drink” Jude is now our scone maker and Jessie will make pikelets. I will remember your tan squares and Yorkshire pudding. Your energy on your blessed 90th birthday was phenomenal. We all had fun and will cherish that memory. Your “open arms” even in your last days. You are missed and Helen will raise a glass, as we will, on Mother’s Day especially. We will especially miss you too during the Christmas holidays. Rest well. Manuia lau malaga. Alolofa atu ❤️❤️❤️❤️
