Kia ora Marion and Louise. I am very sad to hear of the passing of your father. When I came back to Marlborough a few years,ago I sometimes chatted to him after mass. It was a nice way to make a connection back to your family after so many years. While I am unable to make it to the service on Monday my thoughts are with you at this time.
