Ailsa CLARIDGE Obituary

My heartfelt condolences to Ailsa's whaneau as you mourn her passing from this earth. I'm afraid I didn't realise just how precious Ailsa was to me until now but I thank God for her life and the privilege of knowing her, working with her, sharing coffee and long chats and laughing with her. Gone too soon but now at peace and remembered always.

To Rebekah and Rachel: I am so sorry I am not in New Plymouth today. I have so many memories of you all from St Andrews, then from seeing Ailsa often at St Mary's, (and the piano lessons!)
Your mum is a very special person and she will be missed. My love to you, lots of hugs, and take comfort in knowing Mum is safe in God's arms.

My heartfelt condolences to your whanau, may they travel gently in their grief. I will miss you Ailsa, your depth of spirituality, compassion, open heartedness and so much more. Arohanui, Angevahn

Dearest Ailsa,
Thank you for the time we spent together and the support you offered me. This was during a time in my life when I sought spiritual guidance to strengthen me in my life's journey. Your compassion, understanding and gentle enquiry greatly assisted me in knowing God, knowing myself, and growing my relationship with God, and others. From that time to this have not forgotten your kindness.
Ailsa, I still recall you to mind, and for the remainder of my life benefit from your help, and the time you gave to me. For this, I am truely grateful.
May you rest in the arms of your loving God in whom you trust.
Blessings and love,
Gwenyth Richards xxx
