In Loving Memory of Gen Bryson - Please Help Kate Give Her Mum a Proper Farewell

$3,200 of $9,000 goal
Given by 17 generous donors in 7 weeks

Coming together to lay Gen to rest.

Porirua, Wellington

On Tuesday 6th May, Gen Bryson sadly passed away after a long illness.

Gen did not have any funds set aside for burial or funeral expenses, and the costs of giving her a dignified farewell now rest on her daughter Kate’s shoulders. Kate will struggle enormously to meet the costs alone; she is unable to undertake paid work due to own battle with chronic illness. We are reaching out to ask for help.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward covering expenses. Your support will ease the burden on Kate during this sad time and help ensure Gen is laid to rest with the respect and care she deserves. Gens only wish was to be buried and not cremated, and the Eco Natural Burial involves completely natural prep, natural casket and then a tree of choice will be planted at her site. I knew instantly this is what Gen would have preferred as she loved all things natural and organic and had a strong faith in Christianity which drove this inner value of clean living.

If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this page would mean a great deal. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

I went through High School in Motueka with Gen oh so many years ago. Keeping in touch was quite erratic, but she was never forgotten and always remembered with love. Rest peacefully Gen.
