Sheryl, Callum, Davina and families. Our families have been neighbours for two generations and we have always looked forward to chats over the fence with a cheeky Hello neighbour' jokes and stories swapped.
Now Callum and Sue have bought our farms and combined them with Sheryl and Greg's original homestead to form a well run dairy farm.
We will miss Greg with his short jean shorts and chaps. Our sympathy goes out to all the family.

Sheryl Our loving thoughts are with you Callum Davina and their families at this time, David and Maureen too. We will all miss my noisy ( you love me tho eh ) nephew so so much. Always trying to make the best of his afflictions to try and help others with a similar plight. Always a big big grin would spread over that big dial when we saw him,or even you could hear the grin in his voice on the phone. He had to fight all his life one way or another to do what he wanted when he wanted from the time he was a baby in his cot tied down so he couldn't scratch his eczema Oh that sight even at my early age then near broke my heart. So time went on and one of his fave tricks was catching a big fat moth and shoving it down Tup's back. I can still hear her scream. She was terrified of moths but of course the more she screamed the further down the back it went. Don't we all know how much he missed going down the tide,going out on the boat and doing all things with fish and the tide. Oh the joys of. My nephew. Oh gosh I will miss him terribly too.Sheryl love...We know that in this time of sadness what he'd be saying to us right... Our love is with you all always..
From Podge Malcolm Lauren Leigh Pam and whanau.
