Sorry for your loss
Afraid we can't be there today
This verse is one that we have derived comfort from
Those whom we love and lose are no longer where they were they are now wherever we are

What a huge shock. I have known the Bennet family for over 60 years. They were very loyal customers of Brownwood Motors Timaru which continued for over 20 years when I worked for the Company. A lovely family which will remain in my memory for ever. RIP Peter. My love to the family during this sad time..
