Dearest Denise, Fiatagata, and Taualai and families, I was not able to make it down but watched and shared in the laughter, tears and wonderful memories of Micheal. I grew up and always remember your Mum Lusia, and visiting the Lithgow St, Bain and Regent St houses. My Parents would visit most Sabbath afternoons in 1980’s. When I lived in Lauder Cres, and your Dad lived there too in a back section, (2000’s) I would visit and have chats, and cups of tea. Always a good laugh and conversationist. Put me to shame how he could speak Samoan and I couldn’t. Be strong for each other continue to live, love and keep his and your Mum’s Legacy alive.. Micheal gave me my first Samoan cassette tape by Five Star in 1992. Didn’t know it then but Samoan music would become my everyday music as a Adult. He lived for his family lived and was so proud of you all. Love and prayers for your family during this time. Ilafehi (Jnr) & John and family. Auckland

Much love uncle Michael sorry I didn't make it. I do have fond memories of you. You were one of my uncles I could joke with and we would laugh. I love you and I will see you in heaven. God bless you and I prayer you into heaven. Xx

dear curry family I am sorry for your loss, and I hope your all doing well and hope for the best. I hope this message finds you surrounded by love and support during this difficult time. I was deeply saddened to hear of Micheals passing and I wanted to express my honest feelings for your loss to you and your family. In times like these words often feel insufficient to capture the depth of loss and the strength it takes to navigate through grief. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and that I am here for you should you need anything or any support. May Micheal rest in peace. Cameron
