To my beautiful grandad,

Oh how I miss your smile. You always had a smile on your face even during the toughest times. You were such a loving kind hearted man. You were the most amazing grandad and most amazing bibi to my babies. You absolutely adored your babies. I know you are now in heaven with the lord watching over us all. We will take care of your darling and make sure nanny is ok. She´s being so strong. You would be so proud of her and the strength she is showing. Keeping us all close and together through this hard time. I love you so much and I will miss you dearly.

Love Hayley, Logan, Indie, Axel & Riley xx

Very sorry to hear about Bob . First meeting, both aged 11 or 12, playing for Poneke rugby club . I think Bobs uncle was the coach . Met up again when Bob and Sheryl came to Miramar Baptist, and we were in the same House Group . Bob, Sheryl and myself accidentally met up a few years ago, on the main street of Taupo . Hadnt seen them for a while, had a nice chat, full of humour . I can still remember looking at Bob, and thinking what open, honest, and friendly eyes he had . It summed up his personality . My condolences to Sheryl and family . From Dave Johnstone, now living in Auckland .
