Rosemary ROAKE Obituary

Dear Jeremy and all the Roake family, I was saddened to hear of the passing of dear Rosemary. She was a beautiful godly woman and a great friend to my parents, Bert and Doreen. They shared many happy times together as friends and colleagues in the Cathedral choir. She will be sorely missed by you all. May God comfort you, and bring to mind your happy memories and a reassurance that she is with her Lord now and free from suffering. (I had tried to write a month ago but lost the message on my cell phone, didn't know where to send the card to and have since been busy so my apologies for the lateness of this message. I would have liked to attend the service too if possible but did not know where it was). With my deepest sympathy, Janet Lockyer, nee Riseley.

Fond memories of dear Rosemary .I think of all the happy times also with all Beaumont family. Great memories. And of Rosemary especially ..l have the same name! Which was not a coincidence. !) Condolances and Love to you all as you farewell a lovely person and onewhose art was beautiful ..... . Rosemary Te Pairi ( nee Hassall)

Thinking of you all as you mourn Rosemary's passing and celebrate her long life.

We have lots of happy memories of Rosemary and Hamish over at the Bay and at choir parties and away trips. Arohanui.
