Hello Yvonne and family. Our deepest sympathy to you all at this time. I will always treasure the memories we all made as families, and still enjoy looking through the few photos we had of those times. Much love from Viv & Elliot Mauriri (nee Hunt)

Hi Yvonne and family I was very sad to learn of Phil's passing and remember him as such a lovely man, always cheerful, kind and helpful. You have both always been part of our lives through your friendship with Mum and Dad. Thinking of you all during this time. ANITA
