He ohāki

Ka heke ngā roimata, purena ana te wai o mahara. Ko tou matou aroha hei waka atu mohou ki tou nui e whanga mai ra. Kua tika tāu e rangi ki a ratou whakarerenga iho. Nei a Matariki te maiangi ake hei arahi i a koe. Hoea te moana kia tae atu ki tou whenua houkura, ki tou okiokinga whakaaio.

We give Tony to God with our unconditional love and peace.

Funeral Saturday 4^th June 2011, 11 am at Tunohopu Marae, Ohinemutu Rotorua.
