What a wonderful lady and I am so glad that I looked after her in the rest home at Rhapsody we had a lot of talk together, fixed her curtains at 10.30 at night so she could sleep. Will look after Barry. What a great funeral Geraldine had and can relate to being told I was a mistake as my mum said the same thing to me years ago. You are a wonderful family. Geraldine loved you all. Lynere and Dennis.

Geraldine and Barrie have been great friends to myself and my late husband Graeme. We enjoyed many happy times at the Yacht Club and also with other. Sunbursters. Ill health. Has meant that we have not been able to meet but rest assured our thoughts and prayers go out to the Slyfield Family at thiss time.

Geraldine was such a wonderful woman who was very talented and generous. I worked with her at St James office and we just seemed to click. She used a typewriter and I was on an apple mac with a very small screen!!!! I always admired her for biking all over New Plymouth. I will miss her dearly but have great memories. Suzanne May-Gurnick. Thoughts are with Barrie and the family.
