Thank you aunty Astrid for looking after me so well (and putting up with Sesn’ mischief). I always think of you when I have toasted cheese sandwiches and lemonade spiders. You will be sorely missed xox
So many happy memories with Astrid in Rawene. Watching the children grow as each came along and through it all your loving kindness and hospitality is mine to treasure. I spent a little time with you in Australia, marking special occasions or just visiting. One visit with Danielle my daughter who sends her love as well. She has fond memories as a child of our many meals with you in New Zealand. May God bless you. Love, Ann
Aunty Astrid, my memories of you live deep in my heart.
Your contagious laugh and sense of humour, to be treasured forever.
Thank you for the care and love you gave Samantha, growing up.
With my love and deepest gratitude.
I will miss our long chats x

Ny PRECIOUS Aunty Astrid
I carry YOU in my heart
I love YOU and have always loved YOU and thank YOU for loving me
YOU truly are one of a kind
SHARE
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
Aunty Astrid… I’ll always remember you fondly as my first ever piano teacher. I’ll remember the school pickups in what to me then, seemed like a massive car. I’ll remember the mini book set on your shelf that I was always drawn to. But most of all I’ll remember your kind spirit, your smile and your infectious laugh where your whole body jiggles!
You are very much loved and always in my heart. Rest in peace.
Love always, Samantha xoxo
A fantastic woman who will be sorely missed. Thinking of you all today.
