April BENNETT Obituary

Dear April
I only just learned about your passing today. While we have lost touch since I left Victoria University, you have been a wonderful friend and your amazing wit is unforgettable. RIL April

We are so sad that April never got to make another trip back to the UK. We very much looked forward to her visits, her sense of humour and dry quick wit, telling stories of old. We would sit late into the evening with a tot of Jury´s Malt whiskey putting the world to right´s.
Jean has lost a true friend in April, although they were separated by thousands of miles they could chat for hours. I nicknamed them `double trouble´ as when together there was always an incident to rescue them from.
She was generous to a fault. Izzy was overwhelmed with the books she posted to her. She is sad she never got to make her trip over as planned and share time with April.
April was strong and to the point, she would not want us to be mournful, she would want us to life our life´s to the full. We will be thinking of you all on this day.
Much love to you all. X

I am very sorry to have lost contact with you April, and have been missing you from our annual pre-Christmas catch-ups with "the IR team" in the past two years. I cannot thank-you enough for the kindness you showed my family during our time of need a few years ago. You are in my thoughts.

Hi all,

Sad to hear of April's passing. I enjoyed her humour and support while we worked together at Inland Revenue. She added a little fun to the workplace! Best wishes to the family. Marty

Dear April
Farewell to you! It was a pleasure to know you at IR and then have you as a welcoming neighbour at Futuna Close! Rest In Peace!

Our deepest sympathies to you at this sad time.
We worked with April for over 20 years. April was our first client when we established Litmus. She has offered us valuable advice and guidance over the years. We will deeply miss April - her quick wit and passion for all things evaluation.

Dear April, It was a great pleasure to work with you at IRD and on the AES/WEG Committee.

Farewell my dear friend.. the town of Ruatoria awaits your flight and the spirit of the East Coast girl shall
always be remembered fondly with those patented leather shoes being kicked off to walk barefooted to school..such more fun xxx
