My childhood and long-time friend will be sorely missed
We shared so much growing up together and the memories live on
Starting as neighbourhood friends in Lyttelton at a very early age, then school, Brownies, Guides, walking our dogs together, me making clothes for her Barbie doll - her Dad made a wardrobe to keep them in! & then the many times to Brooklands & Loburn on my visits back to NZ
My deepest sympathies to the family - Ben, Sam & Amber; Stephen & Elizabeth

I have such fond childhood memories from school and girl guides in Lyttelton with Justine. I remember her dad driving us to and from girl guides in a little wooden sided mini van. My sincere condolences to the McKelvey family.
