It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my mum, on Monday 16 June 2025. Mum was loved by many and will be greatly missed. Mum did not want a funeral so we will celebrate her life by gathering at the Palmerston North Bridge Club at 1.30pm on Saturday 5 July to share stories with each other.

I am deeply saddened with the sad news of you passing Gayle. We have been friends since primary school, and have been trying to have a good catch up for some time, but sadly we didn't get that far. It will be my pleasure to get over to Palmy to attend the lovely Service your gorgeous daughter Shannon has organized for you, and gathering of family and friend's to share stories. You have been a very special girl to so many people, and l have so many wonderful memories with you, your cousin Margaret, my late sister Pamela, and myself, in the school holiday's at Foxton beach, those were the day's Gayle you will never be forgotten. When you and l were very young maybe about 13 year's old you were invited to play the piano at the Bridge Clubs weekly social evenings, they loved you there, we would bike there and l was just there as a friend and support for you l would sit and watch you play that piano in awa and admire your confidence, you were a super talented girl, also a great sportsman in many different categories. Well Gayle you have done a full circle, starting very young at the Bridge Club, and having your final Service at that very place, how special is that.
I send my Sincere Condolences to Shannon and family, and l will be there to say my last goodbyes to you Gayle, you gave been a special friend in my life. RIP Darling Girl.
