To my dearest Nan, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the 4 best aunties/uncles, plus a mum a kid can ask for. George St, Adamson Dr, my cousins(your gand children), your veggie garden (especially the carrots), and our cups of tea will forever be in my heart, as will your memories.

I feel blessed to have met Elaine and her family through assisting her at Peacehaven. Through the hard times and the good times. My thoughts are with her family.

Very sorry to hear of your mum's passing. Thinking of you, Eileen, the Davidson family, and extended family.

Thinking of Eileen’s family during your time of loss
Lots of fond memories

To my beautiful Nan,
The one who made the best Belgian biscuits, who always kept a welcoming home, who had the most beautiful garden and who would always keep a little bit of magic around (particularly the magical caterpillar). We love you dearly, and you will live on in our hearts and recipes forever xoxox

To Nan. I am so sad you’re gone, but so happy to have spent so many years with you. I loved every hug, every visit, every baking session, every conversation. There’s not enough words to describe how much I love you and how much you meant to our whole family. I’ll miss you, but I'm happy that you’re back with Grandad. Rest in peace, Nan. Lots of love.

Death brings a heartache no one can heal, love brings memories no one can steal. Neighbours for many years, with lots of great memories. Hugs to all the family.

Sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. Haven't seen her for many years. She was my first cousin and a lovely young woman when I knew her. Shame we didn't ever live in the same town. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

I loved Mum and Dad over many years, like parents that I didn’t have. They showed me what unconditional love for family, kindness, caring, fun, hard work and celebrated living look like when you uncomplicate life and add love. So much love to Eileen and her whānau - Arohanui xx

Thank you for the honour and privilege of caring for Elaine I will miss the smiles and hugs that I got from her

To Eileen and family, so sorry to hear about your mum’s passing, thinking of you all at this sad time,

Hope you and Mum have a great heavenly catch up. Another member of a big Otautau family gone but not forgotten. Lots of love from the Larby family.

Lovely childhood memories of your dear Mum, thinking of you all

Dear Elaine,

You have been the most wonderfully caring and loving mother-in-law, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother to all your Hodgson family descendants and it has been a true privilege to have been part of your life.

RIP Elaine,

Dave Hodgson
