Helen Best

So sorry to hear of the tragic accident. Brent remembers Andy well from our days living near Ohakea. I remember Candice and family from teaching her as a vibrant 6 year old at Sanson School. She was full of life and courage - the star performer in the Puff the Magic Dragon song of the school production that year. I know that your parents will have done a beautiful job of bringing up all you kids and you will look after each other and get through this.

Love Helen Best, Brent Sawyers
(now Mum of 2 children (5 and 6 yrs) teaching locally while Brent is based at Woodbourne)

Karen Thompson

A long time ago there were two young women who lived together in Sanson, both named Karen. One had two children, Michael and Mandy Brooke, the second had a darling little girl Candy Brooke. A shy young airmen named Andy used to visit regularly, clearly besotted by Karen and Candy......
Karen it seemed an eternity since our time in Sanson, but when I heard the tragic news on Thursday it seemed like only yesterday. I cant even begin to imagine the impact this will be having on you and your family.
Andy loved you since the day he met you.
Our thoughts are with you and the children,
Love
Karen, Michael and Amanda Thompson
