Brian you were truly a great guy. you always helped others when they needed help without even needing to be asked. Kaye I remember once visiting your farm that you both had. when I went to visit it with Kere and Andrew. I also remember one year we had put together a big Christmas lunch at Mum and Brian‘s place in Waikanae and we invited all the family and we all pitch in to make a great lunch and you guys stayed at your Batch that was nearby. It’s times like this that you really realise exactly how far away you are from your family and how i wish I was close by but that does not mean that I won’t be thinking of you all tomorrow because I will be praying that God gives you the strength to get through tomorrow. Kere and Andrew and the rest of the family I know you will do him proud tomorrow just like you all have through your lives. Just remember his memory lives on and he’s in your hearts.
