Tributes
To my Aunty Nau, and our Aerepo families. On behalf of the my late mother Mama Ngatoka Paia (Teariki/Mautairi) Aunty To and my late Father Takake Paia (Timi Ke) Mosgiel. We wish to extend our condolences to our Aerepo family for the passing of uncle. We fondly remember uncle laughing, teasing and joking around with our parents and all the lively parties and pirate talk. Was beautiful listening to our family tree last night and brought tears to my eyes listening to all the names of our ancestors no longer here with us. Such a beautiful legacy in God and in Christ. Be strong my Aunty and family.Love you so much ❤️
To Aunty Nau , Shane, Mii and extended Anau. Grandchildren and Great grandchildren Our deepest condolences to you all, on behalf of our Ave-Tairea anau we love you. Papa/Uncle Star you will be remembered for you fast cars and gummy smile. As I reminisce the days of Collingwood street. From the boil up on the stove to the keg in the lounge. Growing up with cousin Shane and Mii we never went without. The smell of homebrew and the bottles of Mangaian Ara. Will always be a memory of you. Rest easy now Uncle. I told Aunty to put the keys for your Ford Mustang in your pocket so none of us can drive it. Now you are a STAR in the sky... Love always 🕊🤍
To Our Papa/Grandad We are watching from afar but you are always in our hearts. We will treasure our memories from our trip to NZ last Xmas as well as when we were little. We will always remember your love for us, your cheeky nature, your love of cars. We find so many of your attributes in ourselves. Forever loved, forever missed. Rest in Peace Papa/Grandad Aerepo Family (Australia) Rae, Zadyn, Koby & Harmoni
Our deepest condolences to Auntie the family, may God be with you in this time of sorrow and sadness. Junior (Papa Star) will always be in our memories and stories we will tell to our children and grandchildren . He always looked out for our father (Ngu Toru) and all our family over the many years. The times we all spent in his home in the late 80s and early 90s will be something i will never forget, always welcoming to all our Mangaian and cook island community when living on Collingwood street many years ago. Go well Papa Star and may you rest in peace. Love Tere and the Ngu Family
