Owen LAVENDER

Southland

Posted 13 September 2026

Colleen, Andrea and Simon, Michelle and Dave, Louise and Michael and families would like to sincerely thank relatives, friends and neighbours for the love, kindness and support received following the recent passing of our much loved husband, father, and Grandad. Thank you for the many cards, messages of sympathy, flowers, food and visits all of which were greatly appreciated. And to the many people who came to celebrate Owens' life with us. A special thank you to the wonderful carers and staff at Aspiring Care and the Arvida Care Centre who took such wonderful care of Owen during his Alzheimer's journey. Please accept this acknowledgement as our personal and sincere gratitude to everyone who supported us over this difficult time.
