E iereere ana te reo matao i Ohai, ko te manu korihi kua mu nei tona reo. E koro e Mahaki ngakaunui, ko koe tenei e tiraha ana i tenei ra, moe mai, moe mai, okioki mai i runga i te whariki takapau a o tipuna. Nga whakaaro nui ki taku whanau e pokea nei e te hotuhotu,, e te mamae, e te roimata. Ki taku tuahine kia Pania, kia kaha tonu koe ki te manaaki i ou tamariki. Arohanui kia Monty, Wiremu, Hinetiki, Hakawai, me Meadow. Kia kah tonu koutou. Naaku, na to koutou paapaa na Pita me te whanau Mahaki.

Pita and Claire Mahaki

Our thoughts are with you at the terrible time.
