Beverley Beattie, nee Taylor, mother was Bridget O'Rourke, a cousin of Nora would like to send a message to Nora's family.
The writer is Beverley's daughter.
We visited Nora in 2016 at P.A. in Napier.
Beverley was unable to attend the funeral and wishes to convert to you all her sympathy for the loss of Nora.
Beverley is now in retirement care in Hastings.
To lose someone close is an enormous loss.

We, here in Canada, are thinking about you all. I have such wonderful memories of our great visits with your family. Norah and Tony taught me many things, including how to be strong and how to be generous. I guess now they have left us to continue to teach others all that we have learned from them. I feel privileged to have known and loved them.

So sorry to read of Norah's recent passing. She and Tony were lovely to have had as neighbours when they lived in Fleming Road Waipukurau. We had some very nice cups of tea with them.
Helen was the only one of their family we met as she was staying with them. We were the neighbours living above the "big white house".
Oddly enough, Tony was my (Phill's) doctor when he set up their first N.Z. practise at Takapau and held clinics at Ormondville (and Norsewood).
Lovely memories.
