To all of the Gallop family, my heartfelt sympathy.
I knew Kath when she first joined the Canterbury Embroiderers guild, which would be approximately 25 years! May she Rest In Peace. It will be strange for me now to think of her not being in D Isaac. We used to have lots of phone calls together.

We are going to miss you so much Aunty Kath. Our annual visits to Christchurch will never be the same. A gentle, kind little lady with a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humour, you were so caring, always happy to listen to our tales of adventure, woes and foes and what was going on in our lives. We always enjoyed a good old fashioned chat about good books to read, places to go and the many other things while admiring your stunning handwork. We will also miss your phone calls to see if we are still on the side of the hill when ever we had a storm. I treasure your beautiful hand-embroidered lady that hangs so proudly on our wall along with your encouragement to do the same which I failed miserably at but you always said I would get there; you never gave up on me. We love you to bits, rest peacefully with Uncle Alan. xx

Our sincere sympathy to Debra, Tony, Pip, Roger and families, you have lost a wonderful Mum, Gran and Great Gran to her many grandies.
