Eileen JUDD

Taranaki

One year without you...

I, Len Hotter, would like to sincerely thank the following organisations and people for the wonderful care and support they gave while Eileen was unwell. Avon Medical Centre, Taranaki Base Hospital, Hospice Taranaki and St Johns Ambulance. Also, a heartfelt thank you to all the croquet players who formed a guard of honour at Eileen's funeral. Members of the Stratford Savage Club and Bird Club. Your presence and support meant so much. My sincere thanks to Brian Darth Funeral Services, especially Wayne, whom Eileen and I have known for many years. Also to Jodi Muggeridge for leading such a beautiful and meaningful service. I apologise that this acknowledgement has taken so long, it is taking time to adjust to life without Eileen by my side. Each day continues to bring its challenges.

With gratitude, Len Hotter.
