Guestbook

  1. 119A Warrington St Christchurch 8013 4 January 2026 Dear Comley Family We were so saddend to read of Jenni’s death. Yout family were such lovely neighbours over our southern boundary and our children spent a lot of time playing in the parking area and on the spare section. I think there would have been about 8 or even 10 kids between the 5 families. One day I said to Jenni I hoped they were not too noisy and her reply was that she was never bothered by the sound of children enjoying themselves, which was typical of her and so kind. Excuse this typed note but my handwriting is not the best since I had a stroke 5 years ago. Yours Sincerely
    Sue Colyer
