Sheree and Michael and Ryan and Chloe, I was so sorry to just read of Shirley's passing. Shirley was such a lovely woman and a fellow patient in hospital. We both went in for surgery within two days of each other last year.
I hope you are supported by many of both your and her friends as you grieve her sudden passing. My love to you all, Annette

Dear Sheree and Michael, We have just found out your mum has passed away, it will be very sad moving forward without her. Shirley was a great friend to our daughter Kama Armstrong and Kama saw her at hospice last year where Kama now volunteers and they had a great ole catchup. Kama has very fond memories of the Ried family as you all treated her with continued kindness and respect whenever you caught up with her and Kama loved that. Shirley ( and both off you as well ) always had a beautiful smile and a open and kind heart. Love the Armstrong Family from Te Kowhai

We are all shocked and saddened to her of your much loved Mum's passing. She was such a good cook and organizer and when your Dad was so ill she was the best nurse and comforter to him. We send all our love and condolences to you all.
