Sending my condolences to all the familyMorena Whanau
I have spent the last hour walking over our farm with you all in/on my mind. I found myself singing Hoki Wairua Mai as I walked – I know our tupuna have called your spirit home Mereana and that those angels who carried you would have done so with aroha…AND waiata.
