Sending our love to you all and our heart felt sympathy at the loss of our beautiful and lovely Aunty Zita. We loved her so much and will miss her dearly as will you all. We look forward to seeing her in Heaven.

Not enough room here to say all I could. My sister Shirley and Zita were friends working at Bank of NZ - solid but volatile friendship !!! I remember when each child was born, especially Gaelene. I’m living in Alberta Canada and will try to listen to her service online. Fond memories from 1950’s.

We have fond memories of Zita and Laurie as they kept an eye on our kids playing in the reserve in Exeter Cres. We are sure they must have got brasses off with the occasional ball ending up at their place. Regards from the Murdoch family
