Mrs Coles was my favourite teacher at SHS.
She was my `guest´ at the dinner I had to cook at school for Home Economics, a truly lovely lady.
RIP and sincere condolences to your family.

I was very sorry to hear of Jeanne´s passing. She was a very inspirational person who loved travel and the arts. We use to have such fun and informative talks at St Mary´s . She was always the first person to put up her hand to help. My deepest sympathies to you Jo and your family.

So sorry Josephine and family to hear of your mums passing. I have lovely memories of your mum during our time in Douglas. Had I known she was in Tauranga I would have loved to visit her as I have moved up to be closer to Dean and his family.
Love and hugs from Colin and Pauline Christie

I have such wonderful memories of Jeannie that will last forever. Her life with Ritchie in Stratford; her Americanism which never left her; her love of you Josephine and of all the committees and connections that she had in Stratford. Jeannie lived a very full life and I know that she is now at peace with her beloved Ritchie. xx Jenny
