Julie HOWE-SMITH Obituary

Dear Nick, Matthew & Hannah
My thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Julie was so kind to me when I first came to NZ, something I appreciated greatly and will never forget. She was always a pleasure to be around, generous of spirit, thoughtful, wickedly funny, and with a smile that could light up a room. Never forgotten.
Much love, Mandy

Our thoughts are with you Nick, Matthew and Hannah and the rest of the family. There will now be a huge hole in your lives, but you have such a lot of support and love available to you from family and friends, hopefully you can draw strength from this. Love from Robyn, Darrin, Ben and Ollie.
