Sorry to read the passing of your mother, Treasure the special memories. I am sure u will be smiling at some of them. My deepest sympathy. Karen we were old school friends.
Genealogy meetings were never boring with Amy around. She had a wonderful sense of humour and outlook on life. A lovely lady.
We are thinking of Karen and Roger as we learn about Amy's passing. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. May you find comfort in knowing that she is at rest after a full life spent with family, farming, tennis, and golf. With warm regards, Joy and Gordon Hay.
On behalf of the archive staff in Oamaru- we were sorry to see the news of Amy's passing. We are grateful for her years of volunteer work transcribing records so that they could be more readily accessed. She will be missed and remembered by our staff.
Thinking of you all in the loss of Amy. Treasure your Memories
