Our deepest sympathy to Chris and family. Lois was a lovely lady who loved her garden. This was how we got to know Lois through her shopping at our garden centre. She loved flowers. And also in community activities .Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Love Clare and Mark Brown

Chris & Family, we were shocked and stunned to learn Lois had passed away. She will not be forgotten- always had a smile- and no doubt she is now keeping Henry safe and warm. Our love and thoughts are with you.

Dear Chris and family I have been thinking of you so much during this past week or so and have been with you in spirit. Lois was such a kind and loving person and she will stay with you in her own way. I am sorry I was unable to come down and be with you at this sad time. Take care as you find a way of being with this very sad time. Love from Karen

Deepest Sympathy to Chris and family. Lois was indeed a very special person . In her darkest hours over the past two to three months despite all her struggles she was able to greet those around her with a warm smile and encouraging words. Her warm personality will always be Remembered Thinking of you in your grief. Tony Yelavich

I love Lois, we all love Lois, Chris loves Lois the most. Lois, you will be missed and missed. I'll come and have a chat to you through your hedge when back in Warrington. Love Tim, Miwa and Aya.

Chris We were so sorry to learn that you’d lost your soul-mate last week and we want to extend our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in dealing with this awful wrench. Can’t make it to Dunedin today but will be with you on-line and definitely in spirit. Lois was an elemental part of your life for so long - integral to who you are, to who were and to all that you’ve created and built and written and achieved - together. We can only imagine what you’re now dealing with, Chris, but we know that, because of what you and Lois became and did, you will find the strength to soldier on. She was warm, insightful, gently funny; seemly rock-solid - and definitely smart. We laughed about that hedge at Warrington before we’d met either of you. And then, when we did, we knew why …. And why you must have felt compelled to do it. We will remember Lois fondly and think of you both, often. Go well, Chris.

Chris, Lucy, Jess and family We know there is so little we can do to help you bear the pain of loss you are feeling with the loss of our dear friend Lois, and so little we can say to help you through the day. But may you know our deepest love and sympathy are with you

I am so sorry Chris . All my love, Nick
