So sorry to hear about Merridees passing. Many memories of cousin Lisa and I spending time at hers x Michelle (Downes)

... We are so very sad, and sorry to hear of Merridys passing...
Blessed to have known such beautiful person in this life-time.
So, so warm and always welcoming. Merridy has a soft place in my heart, always.
Not only for the valuble contribution to our nephew, Taylor's, upbringing and nurturing; but also, because I loved how she was always up for a cute, cheeky little giggle about everyday life.

O tatou aroha tino hohonu ki te whanau...
Much love to all the whanau from us,
Aunty Jesi, Uncle Matty & cuzzy-girl Ahi.
