Dear Cecil Its been an absolute privilege meeting you, Rae and the rest of your beautiful family through friendship with Janice. You shared your warm home with our little family with many other international students over your dining table enjoying your hospitality and generosity plus more. Richie will never forget his first time on a computer when you showed him how to play computer games which a 5 year old found it so fascinating. Thank you for those special memories that helped us feel at home when we we tried to adjust to life in Palmerston North and also the good times at Snells Beach. Thank you and we thank God for blessing us through your life Till then Nua, Maria, Richie, Rae Zach & Eric.
Dearest Rae, Assuring you of our love and prayers, and will be in touch personally soon. Much love Dorothy

Janice, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing, our sincere condolences to all of your family. As you know, your family was always my second family, your parents my second parents. I always knew I was accepted and not judged, especially by "Mr T" as I called him. His journey paralleled my mum's journey in many ways so I understand. Much love, many hugs and blessings to you all. Penny and Jeanne
Sorry to see Peter that your Dad has passed away, always thinking of you Regards Grim and Margaret Sapwell Cambridge.
My dear Rae, I just heard that your beloved Cecil has received his, "Well done good and faithful servant-enter into the joy of his Lord!!" I thank God for every remembrance of you both and how much your friendship has meant to Des and I over the years. My mind goes back to all the wonderful times we shared so much together!! You and Cecil were such a beautiful team. You, Rae, with your sunny, outgoing, caring personality and Cecil quiet, dependable, always gracious, faithfully by your side. We loved the many times we spent in your home with the potluck meals and sing-a-longs. Then when my Des could no longer drive, you so faithfully took us to church. Such precious memories and always of you both together! Then as our circumstances changed my last memories are of your loving care of Cecil as his health changed. You have been so faithful Rae. You will miss him greatly. I pray the loving arms of Jesus will sustain and comfort you and the family as you walk through this valley of grief. I look forward to joining in your service via the link. Much love to you all, Dorothy
Dear Rae and family, our hearts go out to you for the loss of of this lovely man. Be assured we will meet again, Love from Ferelyth and Graeme Rofey
