Ka tuku mihi aroha ki a koe Hubba me ō kōrua whānau❤️❤️ Malmanche, kare he kupu ēhoa. Kai te stunned kē māua. Our families may be separated by “the ditch” but you and Hubba were never far from our thoughts, ears and eyes. Proud is an understatement to how we felt as we listened to you in 2018, share with the world how we, ngā tangata o te Ao, can live peacefully in tēnei ao hurihuri. Tika tau ō korero. Words of wisdom that will prevail through the generations. For now, Rest in Love Malmanche. Arohanui Tei, Glen & whanau xoxo
