Dear Averil
Our last marathon in Nelson (June 2015). Wow, 108 marathons so great you beautiful lady. Your regular presence will be missed but no doubt you will continue the journey through the pearly gates of heaven until we meet again. Thank you for your smile and chats.
Much love, Arohanui

So shocked and saddened by the passing of Averil. I have known her for the past five years though LLL. She always had a smiling face, helping hand, ear and of course a source of advice and information. Condolences to all her family.

Granma, I will miss your wonderful smile and cheery hellos. It's not the same going into ED and not greeting you with Hi Granma. All my prayers and thoughts to your family.

We had the pleasure of meeting Averil and cycling with her for a week, in the Wellington to Auckland cycle ride a few years ago. Averil was a great competitor, very determined but also very kind and considerate to others. Although we haven't been in touch we have kept up with some of the events she has been involved in, very inspirational. Our thoughts are with all Averil's family.
