With our sympathy from Coburn family
To Grant & Miriam,
Please accept our sincere sympathy in the sad loss of your Mum Sandra. The years we worked together at 141 Tainui Street are some of my fondest memories. She was a kind generous friend and I loved to have a chat with her whenever I saw her. In latter years at Dixon House. Unfortunately my health prevented me from attending her service, but she will always be remembered with love.

My deepest condolences to Grant and families, Sandra was a beautiful soul, loved her humor and time to chat. Will be missed by all who knew her. As John preformed my wedding and was family friends she was there with a smile xx
