Jan, Ron, Laura and Gerald. We were so shocked and saddened earlier in the week to read about Mitchell. It is hard to believe such a lovely kid is no longer with you. We remember him fondly from the 4 years we stayed at your camp, Mitchell selling us fundraising chocolate and smoked fish, with his happy friendly nature. We would like to pass to all of you our very sincere condolences.
Pauline and Pete Shaw, Kaiapoi
