Win was an amazing woman and I am forever grateful for her mentoring when I graduated from Otago Phys.Ed School. Win got me involved in taking PEPSA here in Timaru. She would always stop and chat if our paths crossed.
Karen, Derek and Margo, I´m sorry you have lost your dear Mum so suddenly. May you find peace in knowing Win left an incredible legacy and touched many lives.
RIP Win
