Far bigger Christmas party

Sue with her mum just eight weeks ago

Sue's mum has been so looking forward to having Christmas with the NZ family this year. Sue's sister Kaye and her husband are over from Perth together with their daughter and her brand new shiney husband Dan, so this year is extra special.

A few days ago Sue's mum realised that she was just not well enough to make it to the party. Jesus had something far more special in mind for her. She had a really well day yesterday with lots of family and visitors - and gorgeous weather. Then she headed off to the party of all parties 4am-ish this morning - peaceful as.

We've booked to come home to honour one neat mum and be with family and friends. We leave here on Saturday and arrive in New Plymouth Sunday evening. Our three children will be there, having already planned a Bonnevie kids late Christmas reunion on the Monday. We'll get to gate-crash that as well!

For all those that have visited Keitha, prayed for her and been so gracious to us through this time - thank you so very much. God bless you each one!

Hi Kim and Sue,
So sorry to hear of the loss of Keitha. As you say, a big party for her in heaven.
I know you will miss her terribly, she was such a good mum and grandma, but a life well lived and a race well run by a faithful servant who can now enter her rest.
We look forward to seeing you soon and coming to Keitha's farewell celebration.
Blessings

Marty and Robyn
