Dear Tom and Els,
Very sorry to hear about the loss of Richard, must be a big blow for you. Loss of a child is the worst thing a parent can experience.
I have many happy memories of times together when we were young. I thought I had more photos but this is the only one I could find.
I'm sorry I can't make it to the requiem mass but will catch up with you in Auckland.
All my support,
Michael.
