Arohanui kei te Rigg whanau.Many years spent delivering books and Ann's online shopping sprees to Page n Blackmore,was always greeted with a warm welcome sometimes sprinkled with a cheeky wry comment'leave those heavy boxes outside for Pete to sort out".Always a laugh and always had a wave for me when we passed each other-her on a bike ride and me in my van.Had such a caring and appreciative nature which was revealed xmas time with the "you didn't have to"xmas prezzy i received year after year.Always a vibrant smile at the Sat markets which i will miss and was privileged to have known her as a dear friend.Courier Jo Flavell
