In Memoriam

EVANS, Coral Frances:
10 years ago we lost our much loved wife, mum and nana.
We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that too.
Your memory is a keepsake, With which we’ll never part;
God has you in his keeping, And we have you in our hearts.

Miss you, love Bill, Steph, Jo, Diana and families.

TAUTARI, Richard Hepi (Dick):
30.12.17 Forever missed
Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te Krohirohi i mua i tu huarahi.
May the calm be widespread, may the ocean glisten as greenstone, may the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway.
Forever in our hearts
Love – Linda, Nicola and Greg, Leeann and Craig, Hudson and Phoenix and best mates Rocky and Rua xxxxx
