Our family wish to sincerely thank all the wonderful folk who have supported us over these past three months. The visits, phone calls, messages, cards, prayers, food, groceries, flowers, and practical help have been so appreciated and we cannot thank you enough. The kindness and generosity has been overwhelming.
Our grateful thanks to all who took the time to attend John's service at the Chapel in Manaia.
To Rev. Wynne, thank you so much for leading a lovely service of thanksgiving and farewell, and for your care of us all.
Thank you so much to the Taranaki Swiss Club for honouring Johnny with music, a beautiful tribute, the huge Guard of Honour and the Alp Horn playing as he left the Church.
Many thanks also to the Manaia Bowling Club for your support, representation at the service, and presence outside the Church.
To Kelly, Jordie, Brittany, and Sharni, our sincere thanks for everything you have done to guide and help us through this sad occasion in our lives. The love and care will never be forgotten.
God's blessing to all.
Margie, Rachel, Louise, Tim & families.
When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love and memories they have left behind.
