Patty McLaren

Bruce's wife, and Amanda's mum, died in England on Saturday - about 2pm NZ time.

She had gone into a hospice a few weeks ago and I understand the end came quickly and without pain.

Ron Dennis has posted a nice tribute. She certainly was a vibrant and entertaining lady.

Sad to hear. Taupo renamed just in time. RIP

Was just watching "Trio at the Top" yesterday and wondering about "the other halfs". Sad to hear.

Wow, that's tough viewing. Hard to get through without a few tears....but a sensational yarn.
