Dear Jane and family. Neil, Garan, Blake and I have fantastic memories of our days on your farm spent chatting over a cuppa, helping out, collecting firewood with Ken and Lorna, staying in the bach, and generally being part of your rural lives. I know you will all have great memories of your lives with John. We wish you all the best, take care, Jacqui

Dear Jane I know it's a long time since we chatted but we do want to offer you and the family all our love and sympathy with John's passing. We so fondly remember the fun days we spent out at your farm and the girls on their father's shoulders mustering the sheep. . We have a great photo of our Jane & Judith looking down at the sheep in the pens. They were wonderful times. Take care and we send more love and blessings. Margaret & Gerald Gregory

Dearest Jane and family, the hole John leaves will be hard to fill. I always laugh when I remember him helping us Jane to move the shelves in the library. You got so cross when he kept counting out loud, but he didn’t care and was such a gentle soul. Fo d memories of a lovely man.
