To the Clarke family, I am so sorry for your loss of Johnny (Louise). She was a dear friend to me and many others during my airforce days at Woodbourne. She was fun to be around and will always be remembered for her kindness.

Hello Shaun, Jessica and Sam,
Chris and I are deeply saddened to hear of Louise's passing. She was a remarkable person, and stood out from the crowd in so many ways. The times I spent with Louise during the staff college year, with Jessica and Sam, and our own kids Rebecca and Cameron were so enriching. We are thinking of you all.

My thoughts are with you at this time whilst my heart is filled with admiration for Louise, who confronted adversity with a will
and determination to live life to its full with those she loved, and now no doubt, treads with joyful step, that golden road to a place of eternal tranquility.

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;

I have just been informed of Louise's passing about 5 minutes ago. Ko Yvonne Wehipeihana-Wilson ahau, brought up by Tumeke & Ani Wehipeihana. Mere (Mary) Louise's mother & I are cousins as her mother & my paternal father were brother & sister. Am trying to find Jack Campbell, Mere's brother. This is really sad as I do not know Whetu & Mere's children-time to alter this. I live in Kuku, just down the road from Mere's Marae, Tukorehe. My phone number is 06 3686898-please someone in the whanau, contact me, when you can. Heaps of aroha to you all.
