Joe, Tessa and Sarah, and family, wish to express their most sincere thanks to all who offered comfort and support following the loss of their dearly loved Claire. We were deeply touched by the immense number of people who attended Claire's funeral. Your presence was a true testament to the love held for her. A special thank you to the oncology doctors and all the staff at Hawera Hospital for their dedicated care. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone who helped Claire and our family, and for the generous gifts of food and support. Thank you to the wonderful Mangamingi community for the use of the hall and the amazing help in the kitchen. A big thanks to all and everybody that pitched in when the family most needed it, Joe.
