To Dorothy's family, deepest sympathy to you all, what a wonderful age. Your mother was a dear close friend to Mum Elsie Muggeridge for many years, they shared many interests together, one being the Craft group in Hawera. Mum didn't drive, Dorothy drove her around everywhere, they shared many happy times together. A lovely kind lady who we were all very fond of.

Sincere condolences to Dorothys family. What a remarkable woman attaining such an age. I had the pleasure of being one of her caregivers at her home in Hawera. Many a conversation was had while she sat crocheting her beautiful blankets. A lovely soul at rest.
