Deepest sympathy to the Woller family for your loss. Aroha must be the last of the Dieffenbach Street originals to leave us. A big beaming smile and a big hug always, on the occasion when we crossed paths. Rest in peace Aroha.

Much love to Daphne and family and biggest cousin hugs. I have many memories of Aunty Aroha, who I always called 'Aunty Ha Ha' as she never failed to make us laugh. I remember her turning up at Mums with baking and jokes whenever there was a crisis, always making sure everyone else was ok. So sad to hear the news. I cannot be there on Saturday, but my thoughts will be with you all.

Dearly loved Mother and Mother-in-law to Geoffrey and Heather, Nana to Hayden, Alex and Zachary, Great Nana to Autumn, August and Addy.
We were so lucky to have you in our lives.
We have so many beautiful precious memories, like when you took over the DJ's microphone at our wedding and just kept singing away, giving the kids a big tub of ice-cream and spoons on the front steps at Dieffenbach St, the times you and Dad came over to Oz & taught us how to grow the best tomatoes, when we came to see you and took you up to Otorohanga and you wouldn't get out of the hot tub; holding Geoff's ice-cream while he was in the shops for just a few minutes and it disappearing by the time he came back!
Giving the best hugs ever and always smiling and laughing and singing. And just being you.
Your love was limitless.
You will be remembered forever by all of us and your great mokos will see many videos and hear all about their beautiful Great Nana.
Enjoy those Angel wings and fly free and give Dad & Justin a big hug from us all.
Love you always

From having my first ever coffee with you and Grandad, showing us your amazing garden to having ice cream on the black sand beaches. You brought warmth and love into the world and made us all better for it. You always went out of your way to help those in need, you had so much love in your heart and I will miss you so much. Thank you for being a part of our lives.

Loved mother of Daphne, Nana to Andrea, Sarahlee and Heather. And much loved great-Nana of Hailey and Ashley. The memories will last a lifetime, as will our love for you. We'll remember the roadtrips (including getting lost and going on tiki tours) and eating a tub of ice cream in the back, the times we flooded the kitchen and the many times you outdrank the young ones. We'll see you in the stars and hear you in the wind and keep you in our hearts always. "I just called, to say, I love you" (and ice cream)
