HE AITUA!

Taka mai hea e Koro

Taka mai i runga o Maungarangi

Te Mōtoi o Muriwai

Kua taka kei te pae

Kāore te roimata e kawe i aku kamo

Kei te puna i utuhia

Kei Terere waipuke Otara

Riringi iho nei kei aku kiri kanohi

Mapukau te pakipaki ko te anu mātao

Tuohu Matepuritaka

Me aha te aroha e

E mahuru iho nei mōhou e Kēti

Kua ngaro nei

 

Kua hinga te tōtara nui o Ngāti Ngāhere o Te Whakatōhea

 

It is with deep heart ache, unbearable hurt and sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Dad, Koro, Brother and Uncle Mike Kēti (Wek) Riri
