Tributes
Sending our love to Helen, Clare and Kate. It was really nice connecting with Ted about all things gin over the last year!
Love to you Helen, Clare and Kate love from the Smith’s (Miffs)
What we once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. Our childhood friendship, escapades and happiness. Driving home ‘between’ the white lines after a wine and cheese celebration. Our cat sleeping on your chest after a big roast lamb meal – a smile of satiation on your face. Memories we will ever cherish.
Arohanui to my uncle’s family
Slowly the tears of memory fall,
Sadly I stoop to gather them all,
The tears in our eyes we wipe away
The tears in our hearts are here to stay.
Erin Connolly – Peter’s daughter -Ted’s oldest brother.
