My lovely boys
I miss you so much, I often think what it would be like if you were all here our whanau gatherings would be complete.
Bubs your birthday 65 today, you worked so hard to get your life sorted at this time. It's really not fair. I have memories of you as a little boy and then going to school , intermediate, college and working. Leading the way for your brothers and sisters to follow. You were a great older brother. You were also a great son and baby brother. That sounds a bit confusingly but when mum passed you became mine.
My lovely sons I love you to the moon and back.

We counted all the mokopuna, grand, great and great great 95. Tama you and Whet are great grandfather's. I find it funny when I say my grandson is a grandfather.
Love you heaps

Kia Ora koutou, my lovely boys, I still don't understand why, but it has happened. I miss you guy's so much. Bubs your anniversary was on the 2nd July 18 years, Tama yours is the 13th August 4 years and Whet you are on 16th September 10 years.
I'm pleased I can talk to you every night and walk down memory lane like when you were little and how funny you could all be, then you grew up into the men you are and being so proud of you.
Love and miss you every minute of every day.

Kia Ora koutou nga Tama,
Well it has been a while my darling boys, I talk to you every night before I go to sleep but sometimes that isn't enough. So now with Bubs birthday this month I need to . Mu is 60 this month and that is such a celebration with her being the first to reach 60 when her four brothers passed away before reaching that age.I can't wait for this.
As you know I had my eighth birthday last October and I must say the whanau did me proud it was amazing. Molly passed away last week and we are devastated our beautiful Rottweiler, she was 12. They euthanized her at home with all the whanau were here including mokopuna.
I miss you all so much at times it is heartbreaking as I remember when you all were toddlers and then school age, I see you all running around and playing.
Your anniversaries start on the 2nd July 2007 with Bub been gone eighteen years, then Tama on the 13th August 2021 been gone 4 years and Whetu 16th September 2015 been gone 10 years .
Po Marie koutou.
Miss and love you all every minute of every day

Once again I have left it too long. First I want to wish you all a happy birthday for this year I find it hard to write things down all the time as I start crying and can't finish. I had my 80th birthday in October and your absence was certainly noticed we all miss you all so much. Right now I can only think of you three my sons . All the mokopuna were there , Ra, Kere,June, Corrina, Zoe and Rubz and all the great moko, your mokopuna Bub. Quentin and his moko two of them, your great moko Tama. Benji came up from Invercargill and is now staying with Nicke. Piripi was here too. Pearl and Sonny couldn't come Sonny is overseas and Pearl has a baby now and all are well Whet. I have tried talking to you boys at night before I go to sleep but I get too upset and can't go to sleep. So now I say goodnight and that I miss you every minute of every day, and look after Pepi.
I am trying to understand why I lost you and find it hard but I do understand that I am here for the living your, siblings, tamariki, mokopuna, nephews, nieces and cousin's and I am doing my best.
Love to all who are there all our Tupuna.
I miss you every minute of every day

My son Whetu your memorial today, thinking of you especially today I know I talk to you all every night but today is your day. Often think of the times we were going to Auckland to the hospital for your visits what a laugh that was sometimes, pushing your wheelchair and all the bags and not asking for any help.
Lyryx is here and of course staying with Nicke, he's doing well and sees his babies regularly he gets on well with Churns . Stelz is doing good after her accident, I don't know if she remembers you but Nicke talks about you all the time. I miss you all so much and hope your dad and your brothers look after you..
Arohanui my son.
Arohanui koutou, love and miss you every minute of every day

Bubs I missed your birthday and your anniversary on this page but we still get together for a potluck Kai. It's so cool all your mokopuna gosh It's 13 in all with Rubz little girl just coming along this week, also we are celebrating Isabel's 21st in October the years have just flown by. The most important thing is they are all well and happy. We speak of you all the time and fifteen years hasn't dimmed our memories and love for you.
Hi my son gosh a year since you got married, the time has flown, what a wonderful day that was, an awesome memory. We are struggling without you and that day always comes back to haunt me, should I have done something different. The precious moments are you holding my hand and wanting me to stay with you. Christine and whanau are finding it very hard without you but they are slowly moving forward. Quentin and Daryl are missing you as is Ebbs but they are well and your mokopuna.
Hi Whet, how is it now you have Momo with you and of course your brothers to keep you in line and your father and Nancy, gosh so many with you. You also have 2 mokomoko from Lyryx , I haven't seen them yet but Toni came and saw us, she has a new Tane and seems happy.
Hi Kootz, your up there with your 4 son's now, you left them done here with me and now it's your turn. Don't forget to look out for Pepi.
Time to go will try not to leave it so long next time.

I am so glad I have this page to exspress my feelings as I'm not a public person. Oh my boys how do I get through the coming months and years without you all. Pepi who would have been 57 , Bubs 60, Tama 59 and Whet 58.
I realize I also have some blessings with Sam being with us after his heart attack and Mel getting through her cancer and I know sometimes I forget about that.
I miss all the different ways you all have, I miss the laughter, the being together. I miss my boys and I know this will last forever.

Another year has gone my whanau another year of missing you all and wishing you were here, but your not.
I have Tama here with me but he goes today. I will miss him till next time. I don't run out of tears even though I cry all the time. I ask myself why am I here when my sons are there. I know there is a reason and God knows what that is. I also know I have your siblings to be here for, but it doesn't stop my heart from breaking.
Happy heavenly new year to all our whanau up there and know you are never forgotten. Love you all and miss you every minute of every day.

Kia ora koutou,
Where to begin. First of all you are all together now and it is still so hard to believe.
Bub we celebrated your 60th this year in true style for you at the Pad π we lost most of the dart games but won't most of the pool games I have no idea how that even happen π
Next year we will celebrate your life hopefully again at the pad as it will 15 years since you left the physical world to wait for your brothers who have now joined you. Memories are still shared and your name is often spoken. Not a day goes by we don't have you in our thoughts and in our hearts.
Whet,
Oh my brother 6 years since you left.
You wouldn't believe it but I'm a many now π
Our little churnys had herself a beautiful baby girl whom she named Mereraukura she will be 3 months soon, you would have absolutely loved her Whet and I know you would have spoilt her rotten like you did our Stelz. I still miss you so so so much Whet. The little time we had together wasn't enough for me. Benji is doing so well and you would be so so proud of him. He has learnt to stand on his 2 feet.
Sammy jo and Kaea got married and now have 3 beautiful little girls Lani, Emmy & Bhodi you would love Bhodi and her big fat cheeks
Please continue to watch over our Stelz and keep her safe.
Love you What
Tama,
Today wasn't a good day. It has finally hit me I am never going to see you in this life again. Im sorry i didnt come and see you as much as i could have, im sorry i didnt realize hownsick you were. I would have done everything in my power to keep you here longer. We weren't ready for you to leave yet you still had so much to teach us. Quentin has been coming over the last couple of weekends and it has been so nice spending time with him but I can see he is lost. Please watch over him and please give him courage and peace. I know he will do you proud and lead his cousins into greatness for this whΔnau just like you did. That's all I have for today bit I promise I will be back again soon.
I miss you so much Tama.
Love you all and I will be back again soon.
Please give everyone there big hugs and kisses for me.

My heart is broken our rock is gone how will we survive this. I know we can only get through this together but you all must help us.
We are suffering as a whanau because you have gone my son. Not that we wanted you to suffer any longer. You were our strength when we lost Bubs you were our strength when we lost Whet and you were our strength when we lost Kootz. Who is our strength now? I know who it is but I find it hard to put all this on Darc, even though he is already looking out for us. I am in close contact with Mel and I see her pain up close she misses the person who always had our back and she could always rely on. They are all grieving son they miss their rock.
Have you caught up with them all, was koro Anania amazed to see his oldest moko, who passed his long line of Tupuna from Te Arawa and Whakatohea to his son Quentin, so proud. My tears are also for Ebony and her tamariki because she's so far away. I have made a promise that I will make an effort to go and see her and your mokopuna. Last but not least there is Christine and her children and all your mokopuna their hearts are broken and I cry tears for them.
What happened when I left you at the hospital, I expected to see you the next day instead, Nicke broke the news that you had passed and we had to rush back. Did the doctors not help you? what were they doing to let you die. I will never get over that, did you suffer my son, I hope not.
My focus at the moment is on Tama but I still grieve for all of you that are there.
I miss and love you all every minute of every day.

My darling sons,
I am so sorry for being this long away. I guess this covid virus is as good a reason as any, it's been really awful. Not the worse thing to happen to our whanau this year. Tama has joined you guys, I realize you had had enough my son but I would have liked to have held you one more time and heard you call me MA. I know you are all together with Kootz and I'm sorry I'm not there with you. I will do my very best to look after your brothers and sisters with Al's help. I love you all with all my heart. These words have taken a while to write so I will finish now.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
but as God calls us
One by one
the chain will link again
Miss and love you all every minute of every day

Kia ora my darling,
Well, can you believe that 13 years have gone by so quickly? I remember you as a tiny baby making mum and dads life so happy and as a toddler calling us Jo and Ray, as a schoolboy little legs running to keep up with blimmin Martin, big brother leading the way for your siblings, leaving school at 14 and at 15 going to work. Then a father at nearly 16. Now 6 tamariki and 12 mokopuna.
What lovely whanau you have. For me, it was when you started to call me mum, how proud that made me feel. How is everyone there are you looking after them especially Kootz and Whetu you know how wayward they can be. Zoe keeps in touch regularly and she and Rubz and the Mokopuna are all good. I haven't heard from June I should go on Facebook and see how they are apparently the coronavirus is on the second wave in Melbourne and they are going into lockdown. Corinna's babies are all grown up now, Shilo your oldest moko must be nearly 20. We were in lockdown for about six weeks and I don't think I will be going out this year. Al does all our shopping. I go to housie because I'm a caller and I go and see whanau as well but that's all. Al is making some date scones for lunch so as soon as they are ready I will have to go and eat, but I know you understand. Miss your kai moana still, now we hope some kind person will get us some. Lunch is ready! Love to all up there.
Love and miss you every minute of every day.

My darling son,
Its your birthday 57 today, I remember you as a baby, as a toddler sucking your bottom lip and playing with your ear, going to school, then work, having the babies all six of them, these memories I will keep forever and seeing the kids and your mokos keeps them alive.
Well, what's been going on this last year, we took Corrina, Z and Ricco to Rotorua the beginning of the year and Zoe, Junior and babies came down from Auckland so it was really awesome, the rest of the whanau were pleased to see them as a few of them hadn't seen Noah and Harlow. Henry and Theo are also getting bigger and I'm sure they all enjoyed being at Whaka.
Kere is getting married in Bali on the 15th October ( his birthday ), we are hoping to go but it really depends on our finances at the time.
We are enjoying retirement it is good both of us being home. Mel is all clear she just needs to take some pills for the next five years and then its done. Every body is good, Darcy just had his 50th so we were all together to celebrate that. Look after Whetu and kootz and give them a big hug.

Hi my lovely sons, Well Bubs 10 years but it's just like it was yesterday I remember the pain so much that it hurts right now. Thank goodness that the whanau are here to share this day and of course share a meal. We will also share a lot of memories,I can see you running off to school with your school bag on your back, it seems so big and your little legs going flat out trying to keep up with Martin.I hated Martin. I see you on the bridge in Seaview fishing and I see you playing with Zoe and Ruby. I also see you with your mokopuna. Holding you in my arms after you passed never wanting to let you go.
We will talk about all the funny things that you said and did, we watched some videos and couldn't believe you actually new the words to the hakas , how smart you always looked in you suit.
It might be 10 years my son but all our memories are so vivid its like it was yesterday.
This is your day son and we will give a special tribute to you we will pray and we will sing just for you.
Love and miss you every minute of every day. Loves and hugs to all those with you.

Kia ora my son,
Well another year has come round when we celebrate your birthday. I so remember when we picked you up from the hospital and how tiny you were and how well you fitted into my arms and how excited mum was as she went from shop to shop buying baby clothes,you were so spoilt. You grew into wonderful man and we are so proud to have had you in our lives.
I haven't seen your youngest grand babies yet,( in person I mean) I've seen photos they are beautiful. Zoe and Junior are such good parents that all their babies thrive. Ruby is in Australia and loves it. Ra just turned 40 can you believe that,he is doing well and his little family. Kere is good too with his beautiful daughter.
June and the girls are well and it must be good having Corrina there,although all the kids are here with Ben and his wife ,they have really got a hand full.Saw Rico a couple of weeks ago but don't see enough of them.
Muriel and Andrew are going to Australia to live next week, it will be good for Sam to have someone with him for support while Mel is going through this cancer,she has two more chemo treatments then six weeks later her surgery, when she heals she will then have radiation treatment.All is going well.
Wish Genine a happy birthday and give her a big hug.
Give dad a hug as well and tell him Mel is good.
Hi Whet I still have you with me,(I'm happy about that) but I don't know what your kids are doing so I will look after you till they decide.
My lovely boys I miss you every minute of every day.

Nothing exciting except birthdays, today is Tama's, last week was Cruzes, next week is Reigns 1st and the week after is Alara's 1st, so plenty to keep us busy.
Zoe, Junior and the twins were here for a couple of nights it is so good they have come back home and not stay in Australia especially with another set on the way. They are all well and Zoe looks great.
Benji is still in Invercargill we are not sure how long he is staying, he doesn't even know.(Sound like someone we know eh Whet.)
I will go now, watch out for each other and your Dad.

Hi Dad,
I miss you so much! I've been thinking about you alot lately. Our little family is going down to Wellington in a few days so we can spend time with Nan. I'm honestly hanging out to see her and spend time with the whanau.
Can you believe it? Another set of twins. I'm still in shock. I've only got a couple of months to go before our little boy and girl will be here. Henry and Theo are growing up so fast I still can't believe I'm 27 and a mum. I still remember it like it was yesterday when you would spend all morning packing us a big lunch and taking us down to the coast or the river for the entire day. Now I'm doing the same with our boys. They absolutely love the water just like their Koro.
Our little family packed up and sold everything we owned to give it a go in Australia but things just didn't work out like we had planned and we decided that there's no place like home. We've only just got back home and are slowly trying to pick up where we left off. I'm so glad to be home we truly do live in the most beautiful country. I still laugh because you never wanted to travel because you said why travel when we live in the most beautiful country in the world. Well you were right. I think I will still keep travelling though just to keep reminding myself of how amazing home is.
I miss you Dad. It's so hard not having you here. It's still hard. Ruby and I stayed up all night not long ago just talking about you. It was so nice. I love reminiscing on all the beautiful times we shared. It's crazy how life is you just go through the motions not truly realising that the most simple moments become the memories that you treasure the most.
Love you so much and miss you everyday xxxxx

Well 55 today and next month you have been gone 9 years, where have they gone? We are busy here with our Whare Tipuna hopefully we will get it up and running by next year. A lot is happening with Corrina and the kids going to Melbourne to live near June, and Zoe and Junior with the twins going to Brisbane to live. I can only hope that I will see them again sometime in the future. Ruby may be moving down here to be by Lynda in Paraparaumu, so all your children seem to be doing what you never got around to. I didn't mind I liked having you close. Love to all our loved ones there with you and a happy birthday to you and Genine.
Miss you still, every moment of every day.

Hey Bro,
My last comment was in June 2012. That's like 1,2,3....something years ago. Lol. Anyway just a catch up to let you know that Whetu and Dad are with you now. Dad is probably catching up with you every so often. Whetu, you might see once in a blue moon, then he will come back briefly, then take off again with out telling you, hahahahahahaha. Anyway, everything is good down here, back to work next week, just painting mums lounge. The fams are ok, Sam could do with a blessing and prayer, can you have a word to the Lord. Thanks Jesus. Lol. Better get back into it now.
Love you bro
Jo Tyacke
Hello my lovely Sons,
We have lost you both but now you have each other. I can't describe the pain in my heart to have lost my wonderful sons.
Bubs I know you will watch out for Whetu and keep him out of trouble, (if there is trouble to be found he will find it). Your suffering is over Whetu and know that we will love and miss you forever. Benji is doing good with Nicke and Sonny is with him as well.
Tears fall today and there will be laughter tomorrow, so many happy memories to think about when I'm feeling low.
Sade has had her beautiful daughter at 6.11am today, so we have another little life in our whanau, we are really blessed. Her name is Reign. I haven't seen her yet but I will go up this afternoon.
I am happy to see that Zoe has been on and told you all about her babies, they are adorable and one named after his Koro. Well Bubs the only ones not grandparents are Sam & Nicke.
I lost your shirt Bubs, I left it in a motel somewhere down South when we were on holiday. It was like losing a part of myself but so much has happened with Whetu's passing that I have been able to come to terms with it and everyone has said that it was probably the right time. I had it 8 years since you passed.
Look after each other and remember that we miss and love you both every minute of every day.

Hello my Son,
Well here we are again after so long, it's just me, I mean to do it and forget. We all got together for your birthday and celebrated Janine's as well so tell her we love her and always remember both of your birthdays. Corrina and the kids came too its always good to see them all.
We saw everyone on Sahara's birthday, Zoe and her family, Ruby, June VJ & the girls, Corrina & the kids all came round here and we saw Ra & his family at the birthday party which was at the baths. Pene and all her family were there of course, it was so nice seeing everyone.
Today we are all together again in memory of your passing, we are not going to the Pad again as Joanne has stopped going there & has found Jesus, she looks so good, I am happy for her. Today we will be laughing in memory of your life and remember your strength and miss your wonderful smile and a few tears will fall because what we would like to do is hold you & kiss you. We are having a pot luck tea (we miss your kai moana & curry sausages still).
It has been 8 years my darling but seems as though it was only the other day. I still sleep with your shirt even though your smell has gone, it comforts me. Al got sick of waiting for it and bought himself another one.
Well they are arriving now so I had better go.
I will Love you forever.

Hi Dad,
I miss you. Since the last time I wrote on here I have given birth to the two most amazing little identical twin boys Henry and Theo. It is the best thing ever being a mum I love it so much. I wish you got to meet them they bring so much joy into our lives. I think about you even more now because everytime I look into Henry's eyes I see you it's such a nice feeling. When I say his name I'm no longer sad and it is such a nice feeling to have. I can't wait till they both grow up so I can tell them all about you. I am going to take them down to Wellington in April for Saharas birthday then they can meet the entire family which will be awesome.
I've been talking to Stevee who we use to see at the bay and they have built a bach there. I haven't been there since the last time I went with you but I'm going to go and take the boys and Juns there they will love it. The boys are almost 11 weeks old and we have already taken them on holiday twice they are little travellers just like their Mum and Dad.
Nanny bought the boys a Ponamu each and they are so beautiful when they aren't wearing them they hang over their bassinets they are truly beautiful. I still have the Ponamu you gave me I need to start wearing it.
I miss you Dad I wish you were here, not a day goes by where I don't think about you and wonder how my life would be if you were still in it. I miss calling you at work and hearing your voice, I miss you dropping us off to the airport and I miss your amazing cooking.
Love you Dad, take care up there and give To'o and Koro Ray a kiss xxx
Jo Tyacke
Hi my Son,
They are here at last on the 12th Nov we welcomed Henry & Theo your beautiful grandsons. Zoe rung me early Thursday morning to let me know before she put it on facebook I was so pleased, they are so identical but Zoe tells me one of them has a freckle. I am going to ask Zoe if I can get their Pounamu that is if no-one else is getting them, I will ring her tomorrow. She has a wonderful husband with a very supportive whanau and of course Lynda and Aaron as well.
Ray has now been gone a year and we all got together. We also had a Noho on Labour Weekend and before that it was my birthday 70th, so we have been together 4 weekends in a row, I loved it but I'm not sure about the inlaws HaHa.
Your brothers & sisters are slowly moving on but it is difficult losing a father. Mel is also getting there slowly.
I know how hard it is to lose someone, I lost a son. I relive the 2nd July 2007 every day.
I miss and love you every minute of every day.

Hello my son,
Well its been ages since I've been here, I don't know why I guess I have been tied up with things, I hope you don't think I'm forgetting you, because I feel like I'm letting you down. I missed your birthday, I'm so sorry.
Good news Whetu has his new lungs, he got them on the 20th April and hopefully is coming home on Friday.
Zoe is so happy and in love and now is having twins we find out to-day what they are,(Can't wait).
Rico is in the under 13s basketball team going to the USA. Corinna is going with him. All your children are well and so are all your moks. I'm finally retiring at the end of the year, I think it's time.
The kids have been struggling with Ray's passing but are slowly walking into the light. I'm sure you gave him a great welcome when he arrived.
We are getting ready to play the Pad for your memorial game of Pool and we'll probably win again. I think they let us. I better hurry up and renew your tribute page so that we can put our thoughts and feelings down for all to share.
Miss you and love you every minute of every day.

Hi Dad,
How funny I was googling my maiden name and it lead me to this page. It was meant to be. I haven't written on here since you first left us. A lot has happened since you have gone. I'm now married to a pretty good looking guy haha you would have liked him. His name is Junior. I have a pretty cool job flying and I'm at Uni now hopefully I will become a Lawyer at the end of it all and overall I'm very happy.
The day I got married was such a beautiful day but every day leading up to it I wished you were there. I felt so calm and so happy I knew you were there with me every step of the way. I even got "you are always with me" sewn into the arm of my dress where you would have held my hand.
Words can't even describe how much I miss you, sometimes I think I block myself from thinking about you because it hurts so much. I'm glad you lead me back to this page and I got to read everything on it.
I bet you've meet Juniors dad his name is To'o Fuimaono. By the way check out my new last name! I was really hesitant to change it but I had a good talk with Nanny Jo and she made everything alright and gave me some really good advice.
Ruby is doing well she's grown up and she is so beautiful, all of your kids are, you had some really good genes. But you already knew that because every time you walked past a window you would look at yourself. You will be happy to hear Ruby and I do the same.
The family are all doing well and Aaron is looking after us and Mum just like you would have wanted if not more.
Junior cleaned my car the other day and I still have all your old records in the back. I'm using them as art when I buy my first house. I've already decided that when I have a baby his name is going to be Henry Junior. You will live on and every day when I look into his eyes I will see you. I can't wait for that day. I miss you.
Love you forever xxxx

Merry Christmas Bro,
I hope you and DAD are behaving yourselves up there..... Yeah right......you too and Uncle Waka will be running a muck lol.
We all had a good Xmas, although it is hard without you all. We miss you guys more and more everyday but we know we will all be together again one day.
We are getting together at Mums for New Years so it should be a good night, we will be thinking of you all and will have a drink or two for you.
Say hi to DAD and everyone for me, give DAD a kiss n hug from us all.
Love you and miss you all so much

Hi my darling,
Well the wedding is coming up fast, I heard from Zoe today and she is very excited. One of the wedding cars has fallen through so she wants to use our Chrysler for the bridal car, aren't we privileged. We will be thinking of you especially when she walks down the aisle, but she is so lucky to have a stepdad like Aaron and a Mum like Lynda. Rubz is good and I guess she's getting excited also, she will be a great help to Zoe they are so good together.
This is the wonderful influence you and Lynda had on them. Everyone is slowly getting back to a sort of normality although Ray is still not well but he's getting there. Mel is with him at the moment and everyone will see him at the wedding.
Love you my son, miss you every minute of every day.

Hey Bro
Happy birthday for last month, bit late I know :-)
We had the pool challenge on Saturday night at the pad, as usual an awesome night had by all. It was another draw, I'm sure we will take it out next year. Unfortunately not everyone could make it. As Mum told you Dad isn't well so he couldn't make it, sister Sue has moved away up north and Darcy was unable to be there. It was a real shame but we all still had a good night.
Well my Bro, think of you often and miss you every minute of everyday.
Love you heaps

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Bubs,
Happy Birthday to you.
Well son another birthday goes by without you and tears still fall, I don't think a time will ever come when there won't be tears.
Zoe's wedding coming up and more tears but these will be tears of joy. We are so looking forward to it. The only one that probably won't make it is Whetu, the reality of his illness.
We met Corrina's partner, he is from New York and seems to be a very nice man, they are really happy and so are the kids.
June sent some photos of the girls, Isabel and Sahara they are really growing up fast and they are all well.
I believe Kere has gone back to Indonesia I suppose he misses his baby.
Ruby is well I saw her last month and she is very happy.
The only one I haven't seen is Bubba.
Ray hasn't been well and is having a operation on the 21st June, Tama, Mu, Mel and I are going up to Auckland the kids want to be there to support him with Peeps.
Tama has also been unwell but is keeping an eye on his health with Christines help.
Well my darling everything here is good Love to all up there.
Until we meet, Love you and miss you every minute of every day

Hey there Big Brother
I know its been along time since I have been in touch. Just want to say love and miss you every day. Still think of you constantly, especially at whanau get togethers.
Tama's 50th was awesom, you would have had a ball, you and all of our other loved ones up there. Things are good with Me, Ad, the girls and Kelso and we also have another moko, Kyla-George Te Murau-o-takitini Murray, yes I finally have a namesake lol, she is so gorgeous as she would be, right?
Well I will love ya n leave ya my Bro. And I won't leave it too long next time.

Hello my Son,
Good news, last Friday Kere, June, VJ, Sahara and Corinna came to visit what a surprise, June, VJ and the girls were over from Melbourne and Kere is back from Indonesia and staying with Carmen and Robin in Christchurch, they brought lunch and spent the afternoon with me, made my whole day.
You will be pleased to know we got Jan's glory box restored and gave it to Pene for her 60th birthday (I was sure that was your intention when you took it to your place) She was over the moon. I was also hoping it would help to bring her back to me as I love and miss her so much.
What about Zoe's engagement, I was so pleased for her, Junior is a very nice man and Zoe deserves only the best. Rubz seems to be doing well and I'm sure she will be great support for Zoe with all the planning coming up. They still miss you terribly but with Lynda and Aaron's support and their whanau in Wellington they are getting on with their lives. Which is as it should be.
I guess we are getting by too. I still can't put your shirt aside yet I look for it even when I'm sleeping and hold it close to me, it is such a comfort.
Everyone is well and Whetu is still having tests in Auckland every six months to prepare him for his lung transplant and we will be having a whanau meeting soon to discuss his three month recovery period in Auckland after his operation. I'm running out of news and you probably know it all anyway.
MISS you, LOVE you every minute of every day.

Tena koe bro,
It's been a while since my last comment. I just want to say that I love you heaps and miss you heaps too. Man I would love to dive with you again. I will have to wait until I see you in Heaven, where the pauas are all legal and the crays are monsters. Where the water is warm and we only need shorts and tee-shirt. I've still got your suit... I think it shrunk - Hahaha.
Anyway bro I'm going diving in a couple of weeks. I always imagine you with me. I'm not going to cry... just a big smile.
Love you always

It was a Monday afternoon when I got that phonecall that would change our lives forever, that my big brother had died. To this day I still can't believe how I was able to drive home after hearing this heartbreaking news. I arrived at his address to see police cars parked outside, I walked in the door and my heart just sank as I dropped to the ground it was real, my brother was gone.
Bub, its been fours years since this tragic day & still tears fall from eyes as easily now as the day you left us. They always say time is part of our healing but how much time is it supposed to take. I honestly don't believe this applies to you, because my heart aches more & I feel the pain in our mothers, your brothers & sisters eyes every time we think & talk about you.
I wait for that day when we are all together once again.
I love & miss you so much, every minute, hour, week, month & year that passes us by.
Your Sister
Mel.xoxo.

Hi my darling,
Had to rush this morning to get to work. Had a good day with everyone TXing each other for support on this important day. We are going to celebrate Genines 40th as well although I suppose you guys have already done it.
We haven't had a lot of time together so it will be lovely having everyone here for the weekend, the only one that won't be here is Sam but I know he will phone us on Saturday. On your anniversary we will be playing against the Pad for your trophy, we are the holders at the moment.
Must get ready for housie Mel and I go every Tuesday, quality time for us. Miss you and Love you so much my Son.

Hey Bub
It's been a while since I last wrote to you. Obviously alot has happened since then.
We just hanging around at Mum's (as usual) it was Kelso's birthday party. Watching movies & doing what we do best, eating.
It's your big 50th this year, we will celebrate it with Genine's 40th & no doubt the whanau will get together & party.
Mum still has your blue shirt that she sleeps with & takes everywhere with her, even when we went to Aussie to have Xmas with Sam, she had it then too, it's slowly losing your scent but don't worry, she won't wash it.
We miss you, it's always so hard, especially during this time of the year, Xmas & New Years, we don't get to see your big smiley face and eat your paua fritters....mmmmmm.
As always miss you & love you heaps. Say hi to all our loved ones, and make a special shout out to Blackies dad & tell him we also love & miss him heaps too.
Love you Bub.....

Hay Bro gosh how you are still warm in my heart and I miss you.
Your girls Zoe and Ruby are doing good, missing you of course. They have been here a few times and I love having them here, they have grown into beautiful young woman, I think you would be so proud. Lou and Aaron are doing an awesome job. We have Zoe's 21st soon bro and you will be sadly missed. I didn't go to the pad for the pool game as I was pretty sick but am hoping to get to the next one and see all your family and Jo. I've not seen her much, we both been pretty busy but will make contact soon.
All is well in my neck of the woods keeping myself busy with the Mokos and I'm not drinking very much at the mo think I've lost the mojo lol. Can you believe that haha in fact a lot has changed for the good hehe.

Kia ora Bro
I have been trawling thru' the 28 Maori Battalion website and was reading your fathers story and clicked on the reference to his whanau and beamed in here. I remember giving you and the whanau a copy of a photo of your old man and my (Dave's) old man, Taka Robson (and a W Turei) together in their 28 MB Sergent Majors uniforms at Rotorua during the war. You looked just like your old man.
It was a shock when you left but we were not able to come down to Wainuiomata at short notice.
Everyone misses you up at Mataora Bay in Hauraki where you and Joanne came every Xmas break, and we will never forget how you and Joanne always beat us to our favourite tent spot at Papatu. We caught up with Joanne and Regina and the Moses whanau at Mataora this Xmas/new year. I also reminded the whanau up here how I taught you to surfcast from the beach at Mataora and how the following Xmas you were telling me how to surfcast.
We miss the crayfish you shared with us bro but your crayfish supermarket under a ledge 3 metres under water below the saddle has hardly been touched since you left - no one dives here much now.
Anyway regards to the whanau and friends and their whanau reading this

Hello my son
Looking through your tributes again, reading all the wonderful words written by family and friends who still miss your smiling face. I don't think there could be a time when we will ever stop missing and loving you but 2 years ago we never thought we would get to the place we are now.
I am still not ready to share my memories of you with anyone but family, because they are precious, but I know the time will come.
Kelso is having his 5th birthday tomorrow and we are all going to Featherston. I have not seen Jo but reading her tribute I know she is good. We lit your candle New years eve and remembered.
Love to all with you darling.
God Bless

Mum wants it back so she can learn. We know she is a learner, lol. Anyway bro I will learn how to play and I will play something at the next anniversary. I have almost finished Nathans taiaha and Sams sculpture.

Two years already where has the time gone. We have all taken the day off work and we are all together for this special day. We spend the time remembering and just being with each other.
Renee wrote the poem for the paper, she did a lovely job and they were thoughts from the heart.
We are thinking of watching a video with you on it, if we can do this it will be another step in our healing process. We put a plaque and photo of you and dad with Mum and Jan it looks really good.

Come one, come all.

Hey Bro,
Man alot has changed for me since you passed on. I got married, I became a christian and I changed jobs, from painting to a youth mentor. You probably know all this anyway. I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you.
My heart sinks everytime I see your photo or see someone who might look like you, like Ruby, whom I think we will call little Rewi.
Bro I know the Heavenly Father loves us all. I pray his love and compassion fills your spirit, I pray he comforts and guides your spirit to the Kingdom. I pray for the Holy Spirit to counsel and comfort those who grieve for you and I pray my brother for the Lord to see the wonderful person you are " Stout of Heart and a loving Spirit".
Praise the Lord and Glory be his name. In Jesus name
Amen

Once again last night you wouldn't let me sleep. I lay awake thinking of you. Folding my arms together, I tried to imagine that you are close to my heart. I moved over and made room for you and tried to imagine you there. I put out my hand and was disappointed. I seem to have only black and white memories before you. But when you came you brought laughter, joy and love that I never knew was possible into my life.
Places we enjoyed together are empty of you.... are now empty of all life. Your strength and ability to forge ahead when all seemed against you was the very thing that kept my own dreams alive and renewed my strength to keep going even when my own trials and tribulations seemed insurmountable. Your smile, singing, laughter and arms around me are some of the things that I miss about you the most.
So here's to you my love, a hero, a pillar of strength, courage and audacity when I was in need of these things in my life. May peace be yours at long last.
My love always

Bottled up inside, are words I never said,
The feelings that I hide, the lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes, read it on my face.
Trapped inside are lies, of the past I can't replace.

Hi Bro
What an awesome night we had for your unveiling the pad and Jo did you proud and your family, although it was a sad reminder that you are not here in life your spirit lives on so strong and I see it in your kids Bro.
As for Darcy, what a hard case, he just had me in fits of laughter as he always does and Murel is the bomb; we all snuck off and went to the pub for a while, Tama did the runner. You have an amazing family and I love catching up with them so you pulled us all together every year, way to go Bro. Jo is doing ok, I am keeping an eye out for her, we have gotten rather close and she misses you dearly but she is a good woman and she did you proud Bro and the family won hehe. I don't think the pad is going to be so easy on us next year lol lol lol.
Well bro I love and miss you dearly but thank God for Zoe and Ruby who visit me and it's like you are in the room. Think of you often and talk of you often and hey don't forget to tell my husband (ELVIS) you me bro and you can party with him hehehe.

Hard to believe it's been a year gone by and yet the pain still runs deep. I look at your photos and remember all the good times we shared with our brothers and sisters. Mum's right Bro you are a leader and an inspiration to us all, and that's why all that met you have fond memories.
My only regret is that we didn`t have our beautiful girl before you went, she`s got her uncles infectious smile. Say hi to all up there, hope you`ll enjoying the paua and kinas.
Miss and love you forever Bro.
Pete Parkup Byron
Henry nearly one year all ready, seems like yesterday I heard the news of your passing.
Many thanks for giving me 4 calm sea days in Ngawi so I could eat all that Kai Moana, I knew you were there amongst the old crew on that Saturday. The sadness has gone Bro, replaced by all the postive times and things I was lucky enough to share with you.
Still can remember your laugh, haha, till I see you in another time.
Henry
James Bree
Hi Lynda, Zoe and Ruby,
Wow can't believe its been a year since Henry's gone... I hope your hearts are healing fast and I love you girls so much. I'm thinking of you guys and Henry today.
Hey Henry hope the beer fridge is full when I get there mate.

Hey Rewi.
What can I say....... Its not far away from your first anniversary. Gone too fast.
I want to thank you for ALWAYS being around us, you either lived with us, or just down the road. You never growled me even in my worst states with alcohol. Just stayed close and watched, making sure I was alright.
You never told me what to do, you just talked about things that didn't matter, which made life so much easier. You always made life out to be about laughing, talking, cooking, giving and loving. The way we should all look at life.....
I want to thank you for remembering my kids names, making time to talk with them.
I want to thank you for never judging me.
I want to thank you for showing up on my doorstep just to say hi and see how we were.
There's so many good things I could say about you.
You are an awesome uncle, who I consider to be a great friend and I miss that man with that laugh, who always arrived late, holding a pot or bowl of something. Who sung off key, yet sounded so right. Who never learnt the words to our songs, but taught you a recipe he knew off by heart. Whose cars he could see all hot rodded up, yet we saw junk blocking up space. I miss you greatly and think of you often.
I say farewell to you now and ask to say hello to dad and Aunty Jan.
No doubt you're in good strong hands now waiting for the rest of us to come along.
With love
Tia Crichton n family

My darling Son
I have been waiting for the grieving and the crying to pass so that I may celebrate your life, but this is not going to happen so I will do them both together.
Where to start, Wellington Hospital 7th June 1961 a beautiful baby boy. Holding him in my arms at 3 weeks old walking around Wellington City. Giving our Mum such happiness in the eighteen months she had him and being the last one she saw as she passed away.
When Tama went to Australia you told me that you weren't a leader but that you would support your younger brother. You were a leader my son, when your brothers and sisters started primary school you were there to guide them, the same thing at Intermediate, College and work. You led the way as a father even though you were only fifteen. You led by example and they respected and loved you for that. You loved and respected me as a parent and I don't remember ever hearing a harsh word from you.
I know you are waiting to join Tangaroa and your final resting place but know this my Son I have already buried you in HEART.
Loving you always
Arohanui
Mum xxxooo

Hei Uncle w
It's been about 6 months since we last said good bye to each other, hasn't it been so long. I've just finished crying reading some of the tributes from everyone, how much we miss you but if only you were still here.
Uncle Sam and Jane had their baby girl Tommie, she is so cute with her big smile almost looking like yours haha.
I'm a year 8 now, I just turned 12 last month but we didn't do much because we were in Optiki, The family Reunion was great, I learnt alot about who I am and where I come from (although that was repeated many times in whaikoreros.)
Well you're probably wondering how I came to know that word, I've been learning Te Reo Maori at school this week. I've learnt how to say some words and what they mean, I was actually quite surprised.
Schools been great, I've met heaps of new people who are year 7's but still. I'm really excited about next year (even though next year is a long way away) But its because I'm going to be 13 and have my own phone, be at college and hopefully go far (hello parreze). I am hoping to achieve a lot a this year llke saving up allowance and stuff so that I can go shopping, pay for my own stuff and help pay for the Aussie trip we might be going on in November.
I've been staring at the ocean a lot lately but only when I'm going into town or where ever I can see the ocean, it looks beautiful and a nice blue greeny colour (no wonder you had such an amazing connection with water). I went to a concert with my Aunty recently and we were at the park but this was at night time. And I could hear the sea and its waves crashing up on the rocks but I couldn't see the water as it was very dark but thinking of you made me stronger and I could now see it and the reflection of the cities lights, what a view it was.
Well that is really all I wanted to say so I'm going to go now but I will write back soon but until then I love you and miss you heaps.
XOXOXOoxoxo

Muriel Hata
Hey Rewi it's been 5 months this Sunday since you left us, seems like yesterday that our lives were devastated, it felt like we would never be able to move on, but with our love and support for each other we manage, although some days are still hard. We still miss you so much.
Sammy and Jane had a baby girl 2 weeks ago they named her Tommie, she is gorgeous, looks like her daddy.
Well my bro, just wanted to pass on Sam's awesome news.
We Love and miss you
Your sis and whanau xoxoxoxox
Zoe Amohau
As Iitook a quick glance outside the aeroplane window I saw the familiar view of the ocean floor, although it did not look the same as it did before.
The gleam wasn't as bright and the ocean surface didn't seem like glass anymore. I saw the ripples that went every which where and way. I didn't like the feeling because the shine of the ocean floor didn't have that shimmer about it.
In my heart I know why.
You used to glide with the waves as they would make all kinds of patterns, you weren't afraid or scared like I felt at that moment.
You would flow with the ocean, it would talk to you and you would talk back. It's like there was this unspoken understanding between you and the ocean. I feel like that is the kind of relationship you and I had.
I miss just being able to call you, the sound of your voice is so familiar but it seems so far away. I can't get over the fact that you are gone and I dont think I ever will. When I look at myself sometimes I see you. When I look at photos of you I miss you and when I think about you I wonder how you are and somehow I know you're in a better place.
I think of you everyday and I hope that some day I can see you and then the ocean will sparkle again.
Regina
It's been hard to see my sister walk the road that has been marked out, there's tears, there's joy and laughter and the occasional loud shout.
Though now you're gone dear Henry I know she'll find her song, the sea outside my window reminds me of your call's, "Hows it looking out there Reg, can I go or stay at home".
Stay at home would be the answer but it wasn't meant to be, so memories are what we treasure of your love for the deep blue sea.
Please whisper ever gently to the whanau and sister please: "When you see the ocean nearing and the waves that roll so free, know that you are looking at the way it had to be, I know that you all loved me, it's okay I am free".
"I can not hold you tightly, you can not hear me speak, but know that you were created with purpose and destiny, so travel on dear whanau, heads up and please be strong".
Arohanui Whanau Regina, Tito and Tamariki..........
Darcy Hata
I don't know what to say. I spend my days working and my nights with my partner and kids. I try to make my life as normal as possible. I think you would want me to do that. I talk to our brothers and sisters and they want to talk about you or say how they are feeling, that they are sad or having a moment. I feel like I've had enough grieving.
You know what. I havent. I still feel like I'm going to go over to Wainui and pop in and see you or you will be at mums or I will run in to you somewhere. You might even take me diving again. I'm not the only one who thinks about your smile or your funny ways.
I often find myself thinking was it just a dream. I know it wasn't. I accept that your Wairua is with God and that you and your (other) brother Tangaroa are discussing how to protect your children of the sea.
I'm not forgetting you bro...ever. I love you soo much. I feel you around me. I'm happy. If you can't see me through that heavenly camera, just look through the other eye.
Your younger brother.

It has been about 6 weeks since I last wrote a tribute to you and thought that I would write another one.
I'm playing sports now, netball, this week we won. My team played St Orans and the score was 14 6 to us.
We think about you everyday (well I do) and it is hard not to think of crying but I stay strong and calm and think of something else but you still run through my mind. Well I'm out of words to say so I best be going now until next time we meet in heaven I love you.
Bye, love Sade Vole

Hey Bro
Its been six weeks since your passing & it seems like it was just yesterday we said goodbye to you.
I miss you soooo much my big brother. I look at our photos of you everyday and remember what we were doing at the time ie. at Nan's family reunion in Matapihi or at Dad's marae in Opotiki.
I still cry when I drive passed your job everyday & the bridge you used to do your fishing at (ah hello, 7 in the morning) whats up with that.
I performed in Melbourne a week ago with my group Blenz (from work) and I dedicated my performance to you, you gave me the strength & confidence to go hard & give it all I had, thank you.... it would have been even better if you had been there in body.
We are at Mum's at the moment. Tama, Christine, Quentin & his two kids, Me & da kids (Blax is coming), Muriels on her way, the girls at there place having a shower, oh yeah Nickes just gone to the hospital for her knee & ankle (we wont elaborate). I suppose I don't really have to tell you, you can probably see.......
A day never goes by where we don't remember you, think of you or say something of you, I don't think you realise what a big gap you have left in our lives, but with hardship we try to go on.
Say hello to everyone, tell them we miss them & wish you were all here with us.
Until next time my big brother.....I love & miss you heaps.......
Your loving sister always
Mel.xoxo.

Dear Joe,
Very sad to hear of Henry's passing, sorry I only heard not so long ago, been in shock. Both Henry and Pineys passing in one week - both my housemates 20 plus years ago.
I have read all the tributes, roimata ahau, very true and fitting for a man who packed a lot into a small time.
Our time together I will never forget, working together at my families market gardens, playing rugby together. I remember saying to him once I am going to run like hell across the field I will give you the ball and you crash over for the try, and that is how it happened except Henry had to crash through 2 big islander fellas, ha.
I think our last time together was at Ngawi laughing away the hours with Allies talking of our good times. I could go on and on, Henry was a man with a big heart, generous in nature, also strong as a kauri tree.
Joe thanks for everything you were to him, your friendship to me when I came over and we met up.
Will always remember.
Arohanui Pete me whanau

To the Harbour City Funeral Directors, thank you for your kindness and consideration throughout our grieving process.
To the cooks and unseen workers who toiled to make the days flow smoothly. Thank you.
Thank you to Unilever, The boys from the pad, and all those who gave koha, food, flowers and cards.
Sad times such as this have made us appreciate what wonderful family, friends and work colleagues we have, we are forever grateful.
We would like to thank you all individually so please accept this as a personal acknowledgement of our sincere appreciation.

Henry, we had 7 years together and 2 beautiful daughters!
When we parted we always had an unspoken understanding and respect about how it should be for our girls....it was never about us always about them! that is something I will continue to be incredibly proud of.
To tell them the sad news that the Dad they "ADORED" was gone will forever be one of the hardest days of my life! You were an "AWESOME" Dad
Your unconditional love for your kids was a quality I "ALWAYS" loved and admired about you and its a quality I know your kids possess, you continue to live on in your children I know that for sure!!

Dad you are and always will be in my heart, and I know that when I'm thinking of you, you are thinking of me too just from heaven.
When all of us (me, mum and Zoe) were driving back to the Hutt, just coming from your house, we were driving on the windy road (you know the one were you would freak us kids out on and speed hahaha) and half way down the bottom we had a beautiful view of the ocean and shining on it bright as ever was you!

Henry,
I can't believe you are not going to be there when I come back down for a visit. It was just a week ago we were partying hard at our cousins wedding and we had so much fun singing and dancing and I am so glad you had such a good time. I will never forget us dancing (even though I would really like to Haha). I will miss your smile Henry (but not the one you had just after whispering in my sisters ear lol).
Thank you for everything from picking me up when I was 16 to rescue me from a violent relationship to cooking the beautiful food at my wedding when I was 23 (and cleaning the kitchen when the water overflowed after the reception lol).
I will never forget you, I will take the sound of your laugh and the smile on your face from my last memory of you and try to move on.
Ma te wa my bro and say hello to Jason for us.

Sue Bree
Hay bro just went past your old house today coming home from your Tangi, and it stills seems so unreal that I'm never going to see you again, that smile and your weird sense of humour and your special way of making a room come alive when you are with the kids or how you would talk of your pride for your kids.
First to my neices Zoe and Ruby, I cannot take away your pain but know I'm always here for you girls and know for the rest of your lives that you were dads girls and he loved you both so very much and you were blessed with a wonderful dad.
To the rest of the whanau I think I summed it all up on the Marae, my thoughts are with you all and you were so blessed to have had Henry an amazing person and Joanne I'm just a phone call away.
To my sister Lou you're in my thoughts sis, I could go on for ages with all the wonderful memories I have of Henry. I'll always be proud to say I had the best brother in law for nearly 20 years.
My heart will ache for a while Bro, love always from Sue, and from your neice and nephews Monique, Joseph, Harley and Logan thanks for being a great uncle and always being interested in our lives xox

Henry always had a smile, always went out of his way to say hello, and to have a yak with anybody; and it is for these reasons that he will be missed by not only Joanne and the kids, but everybody who came into contact with him.
At this time we mourn the passing of a Son, Father, Partner, Relation and Friend, we remember the way that he was, we do not grieve, we state that we are there for those that are left behind, as I am sure that that is what Henry would have wanted.
David & Marie and all of the Whanau that could not be here
