On Wednesday 22nd January my granddaughter Tiffany (aged 3½ years, daughter of Larissa Watson and Rob Gale) tragically drowned in a swimming pool accident. Tiffany was the granddaughter of Mary Wilson and step-granddaughter of her husband Tony Wilson and granddaughter of myself and step-granddaughter of my wife Michele Watson. She will be sadly missed by Larissa's twin sister, Melanie Watson, partner Mike Spiers and their daughter Aleshia and also my eldest daughter Nicole Watson. Many would know that my daughters and granddaughters regularly perform an illusion show at Rainbows End and other venues. Tiffany’s enthusiasm on stage was infectious and she always got a fantastic response from the audience who enjoyed watching someone so young respond to them with such flair and confidence. Rob and Larissa knowing her great love for magic, wanted Tiffany to be buried in her magic performing outfit. For those who are able and wish to attend her funeral it will be held this Saturday 25th January at Dils Funeral Services Chapel, 185 Snapper Rock Road, Albany, starting at 11.30am followed by a burial at Snapper Rock Cemetery. Communications can be addressed to: Larissa Watson, 14 Roadley Avenue, Pakuranga, Auckland 1706, New Zealand or by e-mail Larissa@watson.co.nz We are all sure you will understand that there will be no Magic New Zealand e-zine this week as we are traumatised with grief over this very tragic event. Tiffany will always be loved and never forgotten and she will be in our hearts for ever. ========================================================= * NEWS FLASH * NEWS FLASH * NEWS FLASH * NEWS FLASH * NEWS FLASH * ========================================================= ------------------------------------- Subscription Management ------------------------------------- Our subscriber list is NOT made available to other companies or individuals.
