Hi Rebecca I'm so sorry to hear about Alastair, you don't know me , my name is Nathan Holland and I went to school with Alastair back in Alexandra , Dunstan High. I'll always remember his big smile and how good he was at tennis, I could never beat him and he would quiet happily give me pointers on what to do better. I had no idea he was fighting the hardest battle of all, I know he was loved and he can rest easy now, and your journey is just beginning. I wish you and your family all the best and you know Alastair will always be with you, our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with you.

Rebecca dear we were so sorry to hear that Alastair lost his battle and are thinking of you and Christie. We will be up early in January and hope to call in and see you with Samalah, Hazel and the new baby - a play date for the little ones and a catch up with you. Be strong and know that you and Christie are in our prayers. Randal, Nicky and family xx

Hello Rebecca, Chrissy and family.
I was so pleased to know Alastair through the choir when St David's people joined the combined choir, he was such a lovely man, I spent sometimes talking with him.
I was also pleased to be part of the choir to sing the lovely song at Alastair's Celebration today.
May God be with you and Chrissy always.
Blessings be with you at this sad time.
