Dear Peter, Annemieka, I am sorry I have only just learned of your mothers passing. I often think of Christina. She was very generous and kind to my mum, Vivienne, and to me. I would visit mum and stay with Christina in her beautiful Taupo apartment. She was very knowledgeable, quick witted, had a real design flare and diverse range of interests. I enjoyed hearing her many stories about her life. 94 years! What a life fully lived. Sending you my warmest wishes, and to Christina a toast. I am very glad I met you. Kelley
