Dear Brendon, I would like to express my deep sadness at the passing of your father, Neville. He was a wonderful man who worked with all aspects of our community: for example installing curtains in the kaumatua flat of my late aunt, Nereaha Stirling. He was authentic, and completely understoon those who challenged the system, and accommodated collegial participation in official conversations. Please receive my love, and to all your family. Arohanui, Marama [Laurenson]
