Peter and family, so sorry to hear of the passing of Tut. I have many happy memories of tut, she was always happy and positive and a great mentor to many younger teenage girls. Her ukulele playing and singing with Judy and Sue was always a treat to listen to. Although I haven't seen her for many years she will be missed by her family and her friends, I will be watching her funeral tomorrow on line.

We truly appreciate what she had done...Aunty Tut..you will be dearly missed..We love you always...Till we meet again.. ..Joe and Keshni and family..

Tut I remember like yesterday being at Opawa Baptist with you. You seemed larger than life and I loved your infectious humour. Rest in all that the Father has provided in His great love!

Tut was my Sunday school teacher at Opawa Baptist. I also remember Tut singing with Judy and Sue on Sunday evening at church. I have always thought of her often. A most beautiful soul. My spiritual love and heartful sympathy. I now live in Dunedin but will live stream Tut"s service xxx

Tut was a very favourite cousin in our childhood, and for the rest of our lives. She was so kind and a ray of sunshine. Our elder sister, Sylvia, told Bev recently that that it was us twins that first called her Tutty because Granddad called her 'tuppence' and we interpreted it as "Tutty'.

Vivienne and Beverley Stewart, Tut's twin cousins, five years younger than Tut.
