Afterword

Colleen HOCKLY

Taranaki

Posted 4 October 2026

John, Maree, Craig and their families would like to sincerely thank all our family and friends for the love, support and kindness shown to us following the sudden passing of Colleen. We are deeply grateful to everyone who brought meals, baking and groceries, sent flowers and cards, and shared messages through Facebook and newspaper tributes. Every gesture of kindness was very much appreciated and meant so much to us all during such a difficult time. A special thank you to Jodi Muggeridge for making Mum's service so special, and to Glen from South Taranaki Funeral Services for his care, guidance and support throughout. To everyone who attended Colleen's funeral service and helped us celebrate and honour her life, thank you. Your presence and support meant more than words can express. Please accept this acknowledgment as a personal expression of our heartfelt gratitude.
