Cara Yvonne Draper

Cara you were such a special person to me. I found a photo of you and I taken on the front porch of my home in Cockburn St., Grey Lynn, Auckland. I would like to share this with your family. This is a precious memory of our friendship over many years. Love Michelle Kjellberg

Dear Cara, It's been many years since I saw you, but seeing your death notice made me feel quite saddened by your passing. We were best friends for years- from form one at Sacred Heart primary school to form 7 at St. Mary's College. We did so much together. When Babette came along I was living in the South Island and from the photo you sent me I saw what a beauty she was. I still have your letters and photos. I wished I could have met up with you and shared my life with you and you with me, but I didn't know where to find you until now. My mother died last year in December so you can catch up with her now. I'm so sorry you died so young. I still carry your memory in my heart, Cara, and would love to hear from your family. Perhaps they can send me an order of service leaflet. I have added a photo of me and my youngest grandson, taken in April this year in our motorhome.

DRAPER, Cara Yvonne. Of Whangarei, died 25 August 2011, aged 59. Beloved sister of Joseph. Forever in my heart.
