Dear Gordon and family.
John and I are so disappointed we were unable to attend Annette’s funeral today due to still testing positive for Covid.
We watched the live feed which helped to make us feel we were there.
We are so sorry to lose a very special neighbour , you both made us so welcome when we moved into TCC and Annette made sure I was comfortable at the first couple of Happy Hours. such a special lady. We shared your birthdays and wedding anniversaries such a treat.
We extend our deepest sympathies to you and the family.
Lots of love John & Brenda

Sending my deepest sympathy to you all.
Annette was my STJC at Pukete school. She was an inspiration to so many teachers. I will always remember her not only for her professionalism but for developing a love of reading for so many children through her PM readers.
She will be missed.
Dear Craig and family,
We are very sorry for your loss.
Sending you much love at such a sad time.
Lots of love
