Haere atu ra e Papa, haere ki te Hāhātanga o Pipiri. E pai ana, e maru ana, e tatanga ana, te whakaarotanga ake mōu kua ngaro atu nei i tēnei ao. Hoki atu ki ōu mātua, ki ērā o ōu hoa hoki, koutou rā i tū ki te mura o te ahi. Haere, haere, oti atu rā.

Rātau ki a rātau, tātau nei ngā urupā o rātau mā ki a tātau, tēnā tātau katoa.

Papa left us on the 30 September 2007. He passed away surrounded by family at our family home in Taradale, Napier.

Love you Papa

Cellia
