life celebration service
My wonderful mother Anne Crook (nee Hewkin) passed away last week on Tuesday 9th February.
We are having a service at the Redemption Point Church on Napier Rd (the old red cross hall behind the kindy) in Havelock Nth on Saturday 20th Feb at 11am.
Her funeral notice was in the Hawkes Bay today on Saturday 13th February. I am posting this here in case there are those that don't get the paper or are not on her Facebook page.
To those who knew her, come and help us celebrate this positive and caring person and the full life she had.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
