What a shock I got this morning at mass talking to Tess.
I would like to offer to all family members and Alwyn, deepest sympathy from the Gregg family. We all grew up in Wesley street across the road from one another. Our corner dairy was owned by the Rowe family. We all went to school together.
I hold so many precious memories. I was asking after Gaylene at the last St Philomena´s luncheon in Chch. Unfortunately she was unable to make it. My deepest heartfelt sympathy to Alwyn. She has lost a very dear sister and friend.
Gaylene may God hold you in the palm of his hand till we meet again RIP. Patricia

I have been tryng to get in touch with Gaylene over the last couple of weeks. I had this sudden thought that something may have happened to her. I am absolutely devastated that she has died and I didn't know. My daughter Anna & I were hoping to see her in January when in Christchurch. I would appreciate it if I could have a contact with either Tanya her daughter or Brett her son please.
