Hi Ngaire, Michael, Fleur and Jane. I am sad that I was not able to come to Neil's funeral but I have been home all week with a nasty virus. I send my condolences to you all. Neil is one of those special people that you never forget. I have lots of fond memories of when we lived opposite each other at Mansell Avenue, Neil with his pranks but also wise wisdom. I also enjoyed the times at Tarawera where it is fitting that is where he passed away.

Dear Aunty Ngaire, Michael, Fleur & Paul, Jane, and family.

What a wonderful send-off today. Farewell Uncle Neil. Cherished memories forever in our hearts.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
and the rains fall soft upon your fields,
until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Thinking of you all.

Love, Trish, David, Fleur & Emilie Smithson
