Sending love to the west coast whanau today xxx
To Malcolm, we farewell and pay our deep respects. Hedley's a family long remembered in the Harbour street community. Like dad Ernie picking up wood from our demolished home Moturoa street mid 50s. Then Ernie at our dad's 1993 tangi expressing wharfie solidarity. We all had links that bonded us and this passing rekindles it all. Haere ki te po.
