Ngaire, the thoughtful gift you bought our Max (a night light) is symbolic of the way you would light up any room, and your sunny, warm nature. We will miss you and the love that you gave to everyone you met. To the fam - we are thinking of you in this time and sending lots of Kraakman style love from Perth. <3

Dear Peter, Monique, Michael, Renee and family, Out thoughts are with you, and we are very sorry that we can’t be there at this very sad time. We will treasure the memories and fun times we had together, especially our bike trip along the Danube. Ngaire, I will miss the Grand Tour of your beautiful garden and discussing travel plans, and of course I will miss your witty banter. Forever in our hearts. Raewyn & David
