Dear Melissa,Jayden, Tina and Georgia ,I am thinking of you all during this very sad time for you all. Thank you so much Daryl for your generous whitebait feeds for the St Mary’s staff – we really did appreciate it.
Melissa and children, it is with Aroha that I send our deepest sympathy for the loss of Darryl. A hard worker who has gone to join his ancestors.. Mauriira and blessings.
To the Tainui whanau, so sorry for your loss. The first time I met Daryl I told him that I loved whitebait and he went home and got some for me. Such a generous thoughtful thing to do, especially for someone he’d just met. Sending strength to you all.
