Growing up, I have fond memories of the Duckworth Family. I worked for Henry in the petrol station and babysat the children on a regular basis.Take care of one another.

Auntie Denise was my Father Patricks Sister.
An amazing Lady now at rest. We visited Denise and Henry a few years ago for afternoon tea. We will never forget Denise´s pikelets. We had a wonderful visit talking about our travels and gardens together.
We hope you get to celebrate Denise´s amazing life with all the great memories you have shared over the years together. We are sorry we cannot attend Denise´s funeral. Warm regards David (Nephew) Carol Smith and family.

Fond memories of my Aunty Denise, a much loved sister of my mother, Maureen Cook of Appleby, Richmond.
When I was young, with my parents, we would make the long trip to Christchurch to visit Aunty Denise and Uncle Henry.
Sincere condolences to you all, sorry I can't be with you on Friday.
Terry Cook, Richmond.
