Tributes

I am thankful to have attended Thomas's farewell, from home. It was a gift, to hear Kenneth and Spencer, Pip, and the grandchildren speak. The photographs reminded me of so many happy times at Fortrose, also of your enterprises and travels since those days. I last saw you, Ngaire and Thomas, in your mobile stately home at Wanaka, and am grateful to have done so. Today is two years since Colin went to rest in peace so, who knows, they may be yarning together. Love and thoughts to all, from Christine.
