Nic, Phil and Mike, So many happy childhood memories growing up round the corner (and next door) to you all. I always felt like I grew up with two families, and will be forever grateful to the generosity shown by your Mum and Dad. Mrs Bobbie and Mr Wayne hold a special place in my heart and their open door policy is something I have replicated with my own children and friends. Thank you for sharing them with me. Arohanui, Amy PS. Was a truly beautiful send off today and her cooking and baking was always next level.

My māma, The world feels quieter since you’ve gone, Yet in my heart, you still live on. Your laughter lingers in the air, A whisper soft, a love so rare. The sun still rises, the seasons turn, Yet deep inside, my soul does yearn. For one more hug, one last goodbye, But love like yours will never die. You taught me strength, you showed me grace, Now memories time cannot erase. So though you rest beyond my sight, You shine within—my guiding light. Will miss you dearly xox

My dear friend Bobbie. I was so sad to hear of your passing. We worked together for years at Pak n Save. Gordon loved coming to your house for your beautiful meals that you would cook for us. May you rest in piece.
