Our mother, our sister, our cousin, our aunty, our tipuna, has made her choice to take her greatest journey one can take, the journey to the gates of heaven. As she would often say, to home. Although very sad, our mother still left us with her kind and loving smile and left us peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.

Known as a famous golfer across the land and many courses, she has finished her final game which she played fabulously.

We will miss you Mum, you will be forever etched in our hearts, minds and souls.
