Joanne RYE-MCGREGOR Obituary
Entry 19th May 1962, bailed 23rd July 2019. Haha, emergency exit and I've left the cancer in a body that is now dead. I win! Swing by and put some butterfly stickers you'll be given on the box at Mt Maunganui College Hall on Saturday 27th at 2.00pm. Dress code: wear something that has some sparkle and do not even think about reading out a poem, ewwwh. Sorry I beat you Dad (Phil) and Mum (Pam). Darling-heart Rob, thank you for the cool bits in my life. I still had truckloads to do. Dearest Briar Rose, it sucks that I won't get to babysit. No flowers, but please give the money to Waipuna Hospice. Aftermatch at Omanu Beach SLSC. Please take a small plate. Huggles, Joanne.

A light went out with the passing of Joanne a true blue Mountie.
We don't need to live in darkness though we can all try a little belter to keep her spirit alive.
It is very to extremely hard to make friends in this area and I cannot fathom why. Joanne made it easy for all of us
Please keep her vibration alive, carry out at least one act of random kindness a week or a month. Be friendly and kind to new arrivals as you meet them.
Be happy like Joanne was in her final months and through her illness . Keep her memory alive with love and kindness; make the world a better place to live in as Joanne tried to do.
