Tributes

To Aunty Corrine and the family, We would like to express our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, and we pray that you are surrounded by comfort, love, and strength. Psalm 91:4 – “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” I have such fond memories of spending Christmas holidays with Uncle Gordon and Aunty Corrine at my grandparents' house. Those were times filled with extended family beach trips, shared meals, and warm conversations in my grandparents' lounge. As was mentioned in the service, Uncle Gordon had a special gift of making everyone feel seen and heard, no matter their age. I can still remember hearing his laughter before seeing him, a sound that brought so much joy. Uncle Gordon will be dearly missed by so many. Thank you for allowing us to join the service online from Australia. Aroha and blessings, Sara, Pieter, Aria-Jane, and Kobe Xox
