We appreciated all of the messages, visits, food and hugs, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness and friendship from the Cromwell community and friends and family from afar. Special thanks to Gayle McCormack and the District Nursing team for always going the extra mile with compassion and care; Central Otago Hospice care co-ordinators Christine and Amanda, always gentle and smiling; the wonderful caregivers from Healthcare New Zealand who tended to Bernadette with respect and dignity; Dr Pauley and the team at Cromwell Medical Centre who were always available and compassionate; Jackie and the team at Cromwell Pharmacy who always went the extra mile with a smile and a kind word; and the Cromwell Presbyterian Church family for the prayers, meals, support and taking care of us all. Leigh-Anne and the team at Central Otago Funerals for their superb care of Bernadette and family.

BRANTHWAITE, Colin Thomas.
Joan, Carole and Susan and their families wish to thank everyone who supported them during Colin’s brief illness and during our sad days after his peaceful passing. We greatly appreciate all of the caring messages, visits, hugs, food and flowers that surrounded us during this time. We would also like to acknowledge the loving care that Colin received at the Buppa Ascot Care Home during his brief stay there. Colin thought all of the staff were wonderful. Also to Dr Rachel Greenwood for her compassion and caring during the final stages of his illness. We would also like to thank Frasers and Sons for their care of Dad and their support of us, and gentle guidance, to allow us to celebrate his life as he would have wanted, and finally to Ann McDowall for her perfect service that truly reflected who Colin was, a kind, honest, hard-working farmer and a loving husband and dad. Please accept this as a personal acknowledgment and thank you for all of your support.
