Sorry we couldn't share with you our memories of Weeman on Friday night. A person who was ahead of time aware who they really were. Proud to have known Weeman and sorry that this is too soon to say goodbye.

So very sorry to hear of your Mums passing Atlanta. Please accept our deepest sympathy and sending huge hugs to you both xoxoxo ❤️

My memories of wee man go back many years , My husband Harry and I knew him and his Dad , Colin , through our shared involvement with Collegiate Rugby Club . He was a lovely person hardworking , great sense of humour , loyal to the Club . I know his life was not an easy one and I hope he has found peace . Kind regards to his family and friends.

To Ngaire, condolences on the loss of your child. To Sandra, Debbie, Gary, Colin, Darlene and Jo. Sorry to hear if the passing of your sibling. Many many years since seeing Weeman (I still hear Uncle Doug's voice saying that) I remember a happy person with a love for music and rhe coolest sunglasses. And Atlanta, although we have never met, I absolutely understand the shock of losing a parent so suddenly. May your spirit fly free Rae-Ella

A very sad week it has been, you were taken way too soon. You will always be one of the most courageous people I will ever know and love. You were an optimist always, you really didn't care what other people thought as you were sound in all of your life choices, you were kind, respectful, caring and just got on with life even when you were thrown curve balls of ill health for the last two years, you kept striving to make it through. To wait till later in your life to be who you wanted to be, will always leave me in awe of you. Living your life in a conservative town, continuing to work at the abattoirs even when small minded people voiced their negative derogatory opinions, you stood strong in your convictions, so brave, so true to yourself and so loyal to the ones that loved you. I will miss you dearly. I remember our conversations of what we wanted when we left this world and you told me you will be there, at your last farewell, you will be listening and watching to see who turns up. Your beautiful daughter Atlanta is your amazing legacy that you have left in this life, you were so proud of her, I'm sure you are now one of her guardian angels. I will always remember the fun times we have had all of our lives, the last drive we had to Riverton, Colac bay, gemstone beach and monkey island - who would have known that this is where we have traced our ancestors too, I hope they were all there along with Dad to meet you, no more pain or hard times for you, rest in your peace, you will remain in my heart as someone I will always love and look up too, Debs xxxx

Fly high and spread your new wings darling Rae-Ella. We visited but a few times due to distance but the pleasure to see your happiness were great. I will always remember you. You are free from the struggles and free from any pains but morever, you are free to be the real beauty you have always been. Rest in peace angel and know, those who's hearts you always touched, will always treasure your memories. We know you will always be watching over us. Till we all meet again!!
