Sorry for your loss. I have an original water colour picture, signed M. Furness. Big Bay R.D.4 Waiuku.
Not sure if someone in the Furness family may want this - before I gift this to someone else. I'm not ever sure if this is the right family.... (apologies if not)

Sincere sympathy, Colleen, to you all.

Many happy memories of working with Michael in the Blenheim Post Office many years ago. He was the first to congratulate my late husband and I on the occasion of our engagement.
Warmly remembered.
