Dear Van Dyk family
We loved your parents and took every opportunity to see Peter and Tilly when passing through Blenheim. We were always warmly welcomed and enjoyed chatting and laughing together. We treasure our visit to Tilly last year where she was in great spirits.
We send our love to you all and are unable to get down for her funeral but I am sure you will do her proud.
Blessings
Helen and Kevin
