Think of you often. Happy Heavenly Birthday my friend .... wow .... it would have been your 76th. My the memories of Mt Eden Primary School are still there. Sleep peacefully.

Just dropping by (3 days late) to say still thinking of you on the 10th Anniversary of your passing & you are still missed. Borders are open & I have my daughter & grand daughter over from NZ. I have been off line as was up North - not as far as you would have been though. Often I see that train heading up & think how you could have been visiting here or I could be heading there. Sleep Peacefully my Friend x

Just dropping by to wish you a happy Heavenly 75th Birthday. Thinking of you - sleep peacefully dear friend  x 

Just dropping by to place this little candle. I know I am a few hours late but you know me .... lol.  Goodness hard to believe 8 years have passed us by and how this World has changed and is continuing to change. Sleep Peacefully friend x

ANZAC Day again yesterday & what a wet day here in Brisbane. It reminded me of the last time we attended one at the Manurewa RSL and it ended up being held indoors. I watched services on TV and admired the crowds that had ventured out. Spoke to Glenda - she is doing fine I know you would be so proud of her. She is doing a bit of travelling so hopefully I will get to meet up with her. RIP my friend x

Once again it's the eve of your Special Day and thoughts are with you. You should be here celebrating your 73rd Birthday!!!  I shall have a little tipple tomorrow night in your honour x

I'm still in Brisbane. The "pandemic" is still causing distruption throught the land. I would dearly love to visit home but shall wait until things settle down - not sure that they will. I still follow Glenda on Facebook and things look good. So hard to believe 8 years have skipped by. I so wish you were over here but sadly it wasn't to be. Sleep Peacefully Friend xx 

ANZAC Day once again and although the "virus" is still with us parades were held in some areas. I went to a 10.00 am Service at Kiwana Surf Club. I thought of you and the services we attended together. I thought of your 3 grandchildren as the young ones led the parade with their drumming and how proud you were of them. Lovely to reflect on past ANZAC Days and the breakfasts we had afterwards. Sleep peacefully.

Sorry I have not been in touch,have had eyesight problems for a while,both omy eyes have cataracts.Good news I should be having surgery on them very soon,it will be such a relief and I will be able to drive again,over a year since I have been behind the wheel.
I do so miss you,my love as always,
Jan

Anzac Day yesterday and you were in my thoughts,last Dawn Service I went to was with you,maybe next year I will go to one but as of past years I have found it too sad.
Your granddaughters are both beautiful,seen lots of photos,opps great granddaughters,they have a great Mum.
So sad you left us so soon,miss you forever.

Your Special Day once again and just dropping by to say thinking of your and how our World has changed. Shall have a Birthday drink for you this evening. Miss you my friend  xx

7 years have passed since I received that sad call.  The World has changed big time. We have a Worldwide Pandemic and countries have been locked down. Only places open were Supermarkets, Chemists and the odd shop - place was like a ghost town.  I was supposed to return to NZ for a holiday in April but no idea when I will get back. If I go back now I would spend 2 weeks in a Hotel/Motel and no way do I want to spend 2 weeks holiday on my own. One doesn't appreciate their freedom until it's taken away. Anyway friend miss you, miss our chats and think of you often. Love Judy  xx

It's ANZAC Day again dear friend but it's very different. There is a killer virus in this World (Covid 19) and we are all in lockdown which means we cannot leave our homes. The day was celebrated by watching the service on TV and then going out with a candle at 6.00 am onto our driveway for 1 minutes silence. Lest We Forget. 

Thinking of you on this your Special Day - goodness you would be 72 today!  Would be nice to have a cuppa and a long chat  x

Another year has passed and so many changes.  Often reflect on how things would be if you were living up North and we could have those little holidays. Miss you lovely lady x

another year without you in my life,I do miss content with you,hardly a day passes that I do not think of you.Looking forward to the time we will be together again.
My love as always,
Jan

Missing you so much this day.

Diane,365 days since you went with the angels,miss you every day.
Glenda and I will keep your memory alive forever.xx

A year ago today since you departed. Often think how things should have been and how you could come down for visits or I could train up to see you. Miss our chats big time.  J xx

Missed our chat on your "Special Day" think of you often and remember your smile and the cheery hello you had for everyone you met.  I also think of how great it could have been having you living up North and just a train ride away.  xx

guess if I was with you today I would want to go to Carlos jnr for a burger but it is not to be.
I have a pretend cake and will light the candles later and send a photo to the whanau.
Wonder if you have met Zak yet,he is tiny,only weighed 3 lbs and eight ounces.
Love you forever.

We went to Primary School together then through circumstances each went our own way. We met again 14 yrs ago and attended several Mt Eden Primary School Annual Dinners as well as going to Dawn Parades & breakfast each ANZAC Day. The last Annual Dinner we went to they played & sang "Next Time I'm Back in Town" - heard it the other day & I could only think of you. So wish I could pick up the phone and wish you a Merry Christmas.  xx

Your garden looks great,has a Christmas theme,with a tree and of course Santa.
I will change it for your birthday next month.
Please stay close to us,we love you dearly and miss you so much.xx

i still go to my email hoping to see an email from you. words will never describe how much you meant to me and how much i miss you. you are a special person.

I have a candle lit for all my special Angels. You will forever be glowing, and will forever be in our hearts. a Special Lady loved and missed by so many. Walk with Angels dear friend.
