Hi girls I am so so sorry to hear of your Mums passing. I am Craigs mum and spent quite a bit of time having a natter/gossip with her when they had the Tainui Store. Also had a few drinks back in the Bayview days with her and Phil. Remember your mum walked beside you all the days of her life and in your heart all the days of your life. Take care Shirley Tim Craig Ami and Sharna Jeffery we lived in Magdala Street
