I met May on a flight to NZ some years ago. Although I only met her once in person that meeting was the source of joy for me in that present and hope for the future. Let me explain: May's positivity and enjoyment of life shone out like a beacon - I remember thinking that at time. It also gave me hope that in years to come I could be like May, live life to the fullest and not become bitter in my old age, as unfortunately many people do. We kept in touch by email and her many many funny emails - she seemed to have an inexhaustible supply - cheered me over the years too. May's flame has gone out but memories of her will light my life and warm my heart forever. Rest in Peace May.

Peterson Mavis

To Brent Suzanne and Families

We are sorry to hear of the passing of Mavis. Bob and Mavis were like family to John and Godparents to Tanya and Kerry.
They will leave a large gap in your family that cannot never been filled but as long as you have support of family and friends you will slowly get through.

Love and kind wishes
