Tributes

Dear Gary I'm very sorry to hear of Amanda's passing. She was a tremendous support to me when I worked for YHA. Her energy and her positivity were contagious. During my time she was the Chair of the Rotorua Branch as well as an Honorary Vice-President. She was then awarded an Honorary Life Membership in recognition for her outstanding service to YHA. We sure appreciated her. I loved the way you two were together which spoke to the depth of your relationship and the loving regard you had for each other. Take care Gary in the times ahead and I know you will have many happy memories to help you through. Maureen
