Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain.

It's only been a week, but already I have discovered ways I miss you that I could never have imagined. The empty space at the table or in your chair and our bed...those I thought I would be prepared for and accept...but it's all those small, seemingly inconsequential acts of service you did every day that I find I miss the most probably because they hit me so unexpectedly . The way you would come over and collect my coffee cup from the table by my chair and wait till I had drained the last cold drop of it. Then you would wash up the handful of dishes. Every night you would turn the ed down and remove the big pillows and cushions then put the electric blanket on. I have had almost an entire week of a cold bed at night because I haven't remembered to do this! I miss you attempting the cryptic crosswords and explaining why the right answer is what it is..and I mostly miss sitting together at the table having coffee while we both completed them together. Today I will plant out the vege plants you grew from seed, into the garden plot you have measured into grids with string, check on the growth of the radish carrot and parsnip seeds that were just starting to grow..and try not to cry. Because I know how happy you were to have that much smaller easy to manage space to manage. I miss you and will continue to do so and think of you everyday. We had a wonderful life with ups and downs and had become like the comfy old slippers. And don't we all love them. Our birthdays were a day apart both capricorns and both the chinese year of the monkey. So we really were well matched. I could never find another partner as loving supportive and gentle as you, Kenny. All my love, Chris Chris Edgar userTribute leaveMessage Share a photo Upload Photo Max File Size 15MB Tick the captcha Submit https://office88868.wixsite.com/distinctv002/obituaries/kenneth-william/terry?skipRedirect=true&ssrOnly=true&extendedTimeout=true&debug=false

Livestream Please find a link to the livestream below Hi Margaret, I still think of you whenever I see the cushion you made for me :) Today, In Hae, Ian (surprise! I have a second baby boy!), and I played some board games. In Hae pretended to be a monster trying to catch Ian’s hand — the one you made for her! In Hae and I miss you so much, but I believe you are resting peacefully in heaven, free from any worries or concerns. I just want to say a big thank you for everything you did to make New Zealand feel like home for me, and thank you for being our friend. Sending you love, Hui Ju Margaret! Why didn't you tell me about your illness? I've never expected it. If I were aware of it, I would have kept in touch more often, even by texting or phone calls. I am very sorry to hear you passed away and very sad Margaret. You were one of the closest people of mine in my life, especially in New Zealand. I have sent messages to you several times, but there was no answer from you, so I was a little bit worried about you, but I did not expect an obituary notice. I really miss you so much and hope you rest in peace without any pain and suffering. I will remember you forever and let my son Eugene know about you. I love you. Diane Jung Margaret, l was hoping nothing bad had happened when l saw your house for sale. We'd lost touch for a while, but l always checked if you were home when driving past the quaint orange landmark. I then texted to ask if all was well, but there was no reply. I searched online and found the dreaded obituary. The flooding recollections of great times we've had made me realise just how much you've loved. Your generosity and hospitality towards the group of us newcomers in Invercargill were something I've never experienced before. We had such great times of potluck and games at your place, and most importantly, you genuinely cared about people. Your gifts on birthdays and Christmases were always very thoughtful, and hearty. Your heart is so big--you loved your family (we heard some awesome stories about your grandkids!), you loved the residents in the rest homes where you volunteered (you really wanted them to have fun!), you loved the students you worked with (you really tried to help them along!), and you loved us migrants (you understood our loneliness...). You took people seriously and didn't sweat the small stuff; you were accepting of people and didn't let bad experiences get to you. There's so much to learn from you. Invercargill lost a really good person. I'm reminded to pass on the kind of goodness you've shared. That's your legacy Margaret. You appeared in my dream after l realized you'd passed. In my dream, you were just the same as l last saw you, fully present in the moment, and dressed in understated elegance. Rest in the Lord Margaret, and we will meet again, where we will have more games, more joy, more fun... Ally Lee I still can vividly picture you enjoying the beach near our home in Auckland. I never imagined that sharing your birthday cake in 2023 would be our last time together. I miss you, the way you used to send me photos of the flowers blooming again each year after I gave them to you before leaving Invercargill. Love you, Margaret. Rest peacefully in the Lord. Scarlett Cha So sad to hear of Margaret's passing. I wish I had known about her illness and could've spent some time with her at the end. Many fond memories of the Rummicub game nights she used to host at her home for an ever-changing group of pals, many of us Korean. I remember her unconventional and fun character, her keenness to help others, her passion for K-dramas, and her dear pets Schubie and Tiggah. She had a great influence on many people and will be sorely missed. (photo from Oct. 2021) Linda Cooper To Paul and family, I am so very sorry to hear the news about Margaret, she was a really lovely lady who will be sorely missed.

Lots of Love, Melanie and Michael Chan Margaret will be dearly missed by the many students she assisted and the support staff acquaintances she made in her time as a valued JHC staff member. To Paul, Jacqui and families, my thoughts are with you all. Donna and David Henderson. Donna Henderson Very sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. Love to all her family at this sad time. xxx Lisa Burgess Margaret was a delight to have as a reader/writer at Hargest Senior Campus. She took a great interest in the students she worked with, had a great sense of humour and often picked up jobs with very short notice!
