To Elainors family please accept my sincerest condolences she will be greatly missed and in my thoughts, I have been lucky enough to part of Barry and Elainors life for the last 30yrs window cleaning and odd jobs and was far more than just a customer I will deeply miss here, kind regards Paul and Megan

Dearest friend Elainor.
So many wonderful happy times together over many decades. From Barry and John in school in Napier and in early teenage years discovering engines and cars with Barry´s father encouraging them along the way. So many `close shaves´ and so much fun together. Elsie, John´s mother enjoyed many years of close friendship with Barry´s mother. Elainor and I joined the families and we were both so lucky to meet up
In ChCh creating a special close and loving relationship for decades. A privilege indeed to enjoy a long and happy friendship including welcoming Elainor & Barry to our home in Tonga for a memorable
holiday. Elainor and I loved Christine King´s paintings and I so enjoyed being part of her decision for her recent new painting in her hall.
Thank goodness she was able to stay in her beloved home until it was time to let go...
Elainor we have been blessed to have you as a friend. I don´t know when we will get together again in spirit but rest assured I will be looking for you Elainor.
With our love always.
Coral & John
