Guestbook

When we were kids , Lex and Ross ruled the Prebbleton pool...I was so scared of them...Snowy, he was known as , which as an adult I find unkind... as we got older...going to parties....Lex and Vicky were an item... still nervous around him...he could be quite cutting....mind you it was Mary we were all really frightened of...much as we loved her....we loved all the Mums.. things changed as we got older...I moved away... times I met upwith Lex as an adult... he was lovely ...just like Zane , his Dad. Both Mary and Zane would have been so proud of him in my opinion. Ross and Lex were always protective of "Jane" and looked out for her. I have so many memories involving both the Meyerhoffs and Betts as the are intertwined. Love you and am feeling your pain. Sallie Cornish nee Ward.

Condolences to the extended Meyerhoff family. We have so many great memories of the family get-togethers at Sabys Road Halswell. Uncle Royce would put out a spread and it was great to see all our Meyerhoff cousins and Aunties and Uncles. Sometimes there would be 40 to 50 people all crammed into that little house!.. that was back in the 1990's. The time has flown by fast. Love to all. Rob & Mark Wylie.
