We all had such happy memories of those times, all my love and prayers for the family. God Bless you all. Jan Clarke and family.

Brien was a good friend for many years and he will be sadly missed by many in the community. He was a learned man and we frequently discussed the right way of communicating. Sadly I will not be able to attend his funeral as I will be out of town on Tuesday. Kath and I send our love to Judith and the Bennett whanau. Brien may be gone, but will never be forgotten. A life well lived.
