Debbie, Sharon and families, my sincere condolences as I recall happy times with Laurie in Waiwera Pl. The long chats he and my late Ewen had, Lochie dog and I enjoying a cuppa and strolling with him around his glorious garden, following the life cycles of the myriads of monarch butterflies he fostered, his sausage rolls and chirpy presence at our street parties and gatherings. He will be sadly missed by many.

R.I.P. Laurie, one of life´s true gentlemen. He helped with our open garden one year when my hubby was in hospital. Every day, he was so helpful. I considered him a dear friend.

With tears of sadness I said goodbye to my soulmate of 25 years last Tuesday. He was the kindest caring man who lived, he was a very close part of our family and we are all going to miss him very much. Thank you Sharon and Debbie for lending your Dad. May the angels look after him and guide him to his Heavenly garden of flowers and vegetables "and a daisy a day", to be reunited with Thelma. Love Claire.
