Dear Betsy, I was so very sorry to hear that Neil Snr had passed. I am sorry that I cannot be there to officially say goodbye to him and even more sorry that I didn't get to see him in person before I left for Bahrain. Neil Snr was a lovely man and I have the upmost respect for him. We will see you next year when Ethan and I return to New Zealand. Take Care Love from Robyn, Ali, Ethan and all my pets, Hello, Saudi, Smokey and Kahu.

Dear Betsy My sincere condolences on Neil's passing. I remember him with much love and respect. My late husband Trevor and I visited you many times in Otaki when I did Neil's typing for many years. You moved on to Palmerston North and we moved to Parkwood Retirement Village in Waikanae some 16 years ago but I shall always remember my special tree in your Otaki Beach garden that Neil said was "mine". You were a warm and treasured part of our lives and I shall remember you both with warmth and love. May that love surround you at this sad time. Angie

A veterinary surgeon I held in the highest regard. RIP Neil
