Sending sincere love and sympathy to Una, Siobhan, Liam and all the family on the very sad loss of your dear mum and grandmother Winnie. A lovely kind lady who gave us so much support with the loss of our own dear mum Anastasia. I have very fond memories of my visit to New Zealand and staying with auntie Winnie and uncle Billy. They were a joy to be with and they are together now, resting and at peace. Be assured of our prayers at this very difficult time, with love and Rosary always.

Una, Siobhan, and Liam and families, I was so sorry to hear about your Mum (Winnie) Always Mrs Bergin to me!
So many memories over many years, of a strong, inteligent, witty and loyal person. As often as I could, I would love to catch up with her when in Christchurch. She never changed and always had a coffee ready for me.
Thankful to be able to view the funeral online.
Our families will always be conected through our great parents.
She is resting in peace, with her lovey Man Bill, in heaven now. RIP
God Bless xxx

To Siobhan and the Bergin family we would like to convey our sadness in Losing our closest neighbour for the last 28 years. She and Bill certainly were the best neighbours we could wish for. I know they appreciated the steady flow of correspondence from family and friends in Ireland. We will certainly miss them both. Thinking of you all in sad times, Marty and Chris Jones, QT's Dog Grooming.
