Posted 18 July 2026

The family of the late Patricia (Pat) Ann Lyall wish to sincerely thank everyone who supported us following the loss of our much-loved wife, mum and nana. Your kindness, love, flowers, food, cards, messages, visits and words of comfort have meant so much to us and have helped ease the weight of our loss. Pat's journey was not an easy one, but throughout it she received exceptional care from her medical team and her dedicated home support carers. We are especially grateful to the wonderful staff at South Canterbury Hospice for the compassion, kindness and dignity they showed Pat in her final weeks. Their care and support meant so much to Pat and to our family. To all those who visited, phoned or simply stopped by to spend time with Pat, thank you. Your friendship and companionship brought her great comfort and brightened many days. Please accept this notice as a personal expression of our heartfelt thanks. Your love and support will never be forgotten.
