So very sad to hear that Jeeva didn't enjoy a long time in care after she left us at STAR 2. She was a special patient who was cared for so well by her lovely and devoted daughter Siva. Best wishes to her family, Adele

Our Thoughts and condolences are with you all and your families in this time of sorrow.
I did not realise that Siva had passed away, I first met him in February 1993 when I joined Lodge Awatea Masonic Lodge. Your Mum, Jeeva I met several years later, My wife Doreen and I soon developed a deep respect for both Jeeva and Siva, they were an awesome couple.............. Doreen & Jim Farley
