To Clare, Andrea, James and families - such a lovely and moving service for your dad/grandad. You did him proud for sure...Grief can be so hard, but our memories help us cope. Condolences to you all from Di, Miller, Terry and Libby

Hello Krissy,
we were saddened to read of your Dad's passing.
He was a good man in all that he did for the community especially the Manawatu West Coast A&P; and for his family.
He lived to a great age and will be sorely missed by you all; but I am sure he will be very happy to be back with your Mum.
Apologies that we were unable to attend his service yesterday, but our thoughts were with you all.
All our love, and take care,
Trevor & Maxine

Dear O'Donnell family,
My deepest sympathy and prayers on the death of Kevin.
I watched this afternoon and last evening the livestreaming of the Requiem Mass for Kevin and his Vigil last evening-both very moving and I am sure what Kevin would have liked for his farewell. The readings and hymns were so appropriate and I did appreciate the manner in which the first reading was proclaimed.
Though I do not know the present generation so well, remember Trish and our childhood days at Waipuku. The McRaes, Paul and Mary, my sister in
Palmerston North knew your family and Kevin in particular.

Now as an elder of that generation, I say the likes of Kevin your father and grandfather. we will not see again.
He was a real gentleman, a true Catholic and very committed to the Church.
May he be at peace and now enjoying Eternity with Trish and all the other deceased members of our families.
Again my love and sympathy in the loss of Kevin.
