So sorry too hear of your loss Max. We didn't realize you were back living here. I still remember the years we spent working together. Russell and Bronwyn Dowdle
Max we are so very sad to hear of Sue's sudden passing. You are in our prayers. It was nice knowing you both and Sue's passion for the dogs went beyond caring . You take care of yourself. Regards Ali and Chris
We have only just learnt of Sue’s passing. We had tried to contact her by phone and WhatsApp over the past few months but not having had any response, became concerned and when searching her name through ‘Google’ were deeply shocked and saddened on finding Sue’s obituary.
Sue was a lovely lady who visited her family in the UK on many occasions, staying with my mother Gwen and father Peter and also with us – she was very much loved. Sue treasured her links and roots in the UK with our shared family heritage of the ‘Wright’ lineage. My grandfather Leslie Wright’s brother, George, emigrated to New Zealand from West Bergholt, Essex. George’s daughter, Shirley was Sue’s mum. We will treasure the memories of our times spent with Sue over many years and more recently with Max too.
Rest in Peace Sue, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
Keith and Maria Wright and the rest of the English family.
