Rayleine, Sarah, Anna, Rachel and families. Please accept our deepest condolences at the passing of Jon. I was reminiscing with Mum yesterday and I remember the time I was baby sitting the girls and there was heavy rain. Jon arrived up the stairs carrying his shoes, trousers rolled up and giggling! Turns out the basement had flooded and he was merry enough to see the funny side of it! I also have fond memories of the great family gatherings we had at Lake Kaniere. I (Adrienne) am away this weekend playing Masters badminton in Timaru so will miss his funeral. We will catch up with you next week sometime and will be thinking of you all.
