On behalf of the whole whanau, I want to say thank you for everything you have done for us Dave. Thank you for all the park adventures, kite flying days and for all those times you’d put up with the two trouble makers, me and eva. We love you ❤️

Dear David, You Lost Your Fight Every day you fought the pain. Every day you tried again. But after time, it dragged out down. The darkness it was all around We know you tried to fight your way. But what more could you say. That beast gnawed at your heart. Little by little it tore you apart. I know you fought so hard to stay. But in the end, it pulled you away. Just know I know how hard you fought. I'm so very proud of the strength you sought. Now I'm finding a way to live, In a world where you have no more to give. ----- You know I didn't always agree with your actions over the years, but please know I'm so sad that you have departed this earth. May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks. Gandalf - J.R.R. Tolkien. Rest in peace, Dear David. xxxxx
