All our sympathies to Stephen and Ian and families. Peter (early on) and Shona were our fantastic neighbours for some 32 years and much has happened in that time. Latterly we helped Shona with the onset of her age and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of enabling her to remain in her home as long as she did. RIP Shona. Dennis and Evelyn Mills.

To the Wright Family
Our thoughts are with you on Shona's passing. Shona certainly used her talents as a teacher, musician, historian and writer to help her community.
We were grateful for her help and enthusiasm when we were organising NPGHS dances in the Urenui Hall back in the day.
I know she has left you all with wonderful memories which last forever.
Sincerely
Carol and Gavin Faull

A huge loss for the Urenui community, Shona was a character. We will remember her for her work with Urenui school and the Lions. Ruby developed a lovely friendship with Shona, during her time as a junior Lion, and feels her loss. May God give you comfort at this sad time for your family. Sending our love..
