Tributes

Dear family, I was sorry to hear of Peter passing. I had not visited Mum and Dad for ages so I felt a bit guilty hearing. You guys just hang on tightly to one another, your Dad was such a good, hard working, loving man that you can all look back to when you were growing up on the farm and remember all the great times you had as a family. Look I would love catch up with any of you. If you are ever in Taupo, ring me I would meet you for a coffee happily. Also I would love to be with you on line for Peters service. Please let me know how I can do that. Sending you my love and sympathy Lois Smith Taupo
