A beautiful service that celebrated a truly amazing woman! Gloria had the kindest soul and the memories I have of her will never be forgotten. Especially bodyboarding with her in Whangamata. A truly special person whose life was filled with love and laughter and a family she loved so dearly. ❤️

A beautiful service, you will be so missed Tootie. Thank you for being the best lifelong friend to Mum that anyone could ever have.
Dear Aunty, Like i do with my mum o on sunny days, on gray days and all the other days in between I will be thinking of you. You are family, your smile, the funny chats we would have over what ever we have done, our travels, our children, and just the fun in life. You will be missed but not lost. Love Charlene
