Mavis Edith Holland

Mavis was my godmother . I visited her and Peter in their lovely cottage and loved the steep hidden stairs that took you upstairs. Enjoyed my visits and having the top bunk. Lovely couple. Was introduced to her tame blackbirds, Bertha and Brian and other animals. Many a fond memory was had there. Will miss Mavis tremendously. My thoughts are with John, Simon and their families

Sending the whole of the Holland family warm greetings and condolences on Mavis's passing.

Jenny in particular sends her love and such special thoughts and memories of a truly great lady, but cannot be here to view the funeral as she is currently in hospital herself.
Hopefully we can view the ceremony once the funeral Directors have sorted the glitch out that is stopping us all from viewing live.

Mark Huelin, Bridget McCann and myself are currently in the "virtual" back row reminiscing.

Mark and I on behalf of the Huelin family send you all love and the very best.

Jeremy, Susan and family

Tena Kutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou Katoa from your New Zealand whanau to the Holland whanau wherever you may be. We are saddened by the mate of our greatly loved and respected Mavis, the widow of my Great Uncle Peter, and thus the end of the John Charles and Kate Holland tamariki line. Both Di and self have many fond memories of them both, especially at Wren Cottage in 1979 with our 2 eldest children, and of the latter years our telecoms with Mavis, especially the annual Christmas one. Probably the most memorable occasion was Peter and Mavis's 50th at Simons where I met so many of the Holland whanau for the first time. In closing Mavis can be remembered for her very loving, kind and passionate manner, one who had a "good innings" felled by this terrible worldwide Covid-19.

Nga manaakitanga, keep well.
