Dear Karen (Mandy), I remember lots of fun times at your place in Oakura growing up. Your Dad always had a big smile and a twinkle in his eye. I remember he loved being outdoors in the nursery. What a wonderful spot to grow up and have an awesome childhood. Sending love to you, Chris and your Mum. Take care x

Hello Rene: We may be far away but our thoughts are very much with you, family and friends as today you grieve Ali's death. We've certainly enjoyed a lot of laughter and arguments in latter years; the meals and rhododendrons. Ali always kept me up to date on what Vogeltown school memories we had growing up, though Rodney was my peer. We look forward to catching up next time we're home. Our sincerest condolences to you. -- Graeme and Lois
