Aunty Mae

Many childhood memeories of when you lived at St Johns Road in Christchurch on the Poultry Farm as we use to go there a lot.

You were always a kind caring person.

In our hearts always.

Sincere Sympathy to you all. I have fond memories of your mother when we all lived in Truman Rd & later in Johns Rd when we went to stay at the 'farm'! Your mother had a house full but always welcomed extras for sleepovers - the only place we ever had a sleepover as children. Like your family, we are now spread out but bonded by our memories of a happy childhood of which your dear mother was an important part. I live on the Gold Coast QLD ph.0412961301 if any of you are over this way, Pauline Rippin (Simmonds)it would be good to catch up. With kind thoughts to you all, Pauline

Auntie Mae, so very kind to me when I left school. She had a great spirit and I loved her very much. I remember her chuckle and wicked sense of humour when it came to those "Bradley's on the Coast". Rest in Peace my friend.

Our dearest Aunty Mae, you were kind, loving, intelligent and oh so sophisticated. Many happy childhood memories of you, especially the flash brought bikkies on a Thursday night, the front loader washing machine that I use to stare at for hours, (before they were even invented in NZ)the wonderful music you would play on your record player to me and the very first dinner at a restaurant I ever had. You were so wonderful and I thank you for being such a great Aunty. Thinking of all the family and God bless, love Kate and the Fairhall-Fearn family.
