Dear Wendy!
Dear family and friends of Wendy,
it took a while until this sad message got around the world. My name is Ingo and I met Wendy & Bill in Namibia in 1997 and ever since we have stayed friends. My family and I came to visit Christchurch twice; later Wendy came to see us in Munich (part of Taegens ashes are buried in beautiful Upper Bavaria) and Canberra (2017 when we were posted to Australia). We visited Wendy in Nelson - the last time in October 2019! So many wonderful memories of a unique friendship! Lots of love from Germany - wishing all of you the best when we commemorate this first year without you, Wendy!
Ingo, Claudia & Leonie from Germany

Wendy and I were close friends from the time when she lived near us in England. Although I was sad when she went to live in New Zealand, I was so happy that she had such a lovely life with Bill. She was such a warm person and so full of life. I remember the great times we had together, from yoga on our living-room floor when she came to stay to the fantastic 3-week trip she took me on round South Island.

Fond memories of Wendy and our lovely contact over the years from afar and also when she visited Western Australia with her beloved Bill all those years ago. Such a warm and generous soul. Will be sadly missed. Aunty to my son Vaughan. Heartfelt condolences. Marion

Dear Aunty Wendy. You were taken from us too soon and you are already so deeply missed. You had an infectious warm personality and loved to travel. Family traits that you carried well and passed on to many after you. You were also dedicated to your family, your beautiful dogs included. I wish we could have spent more time together and your memory lives on in me. Love Vaughan xo

Dear Wendy: you were a free spirit, loved by so many. We envied your zest for adventure, and your fearless approach to new horizons and experiences. You loved all animals, especially your devoted 4-legged 'children': and your connections with young people especially was a characteristic inherited from our dear Mother. I wish you peace and love, and may your new journeys take you to places those of us left behind can only imagine.
Rest in peace, dear sister. Colleen & Jeff
