Afterword

Heather BIRNIE

Wellington

Posted 27 August 2026

In loving memory of a much loved wife, mum, mother-in-law and grandmother. In life we loved you dearly , in death we love you still, for in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.

"Softly the leaves of memory fall, gently we gather and treasure them all"

"May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear, that we will always love you, and forever keep you near."

- David, Alan, Paula, Taine and Keiran.
