Your sunset in January... today I still see your beautiful smile and your warm embrace is with me as it always was when `catching up´ Tarns. Where did that time go? This news is but a shock, may you be at peace,

Barry to have had Tarns love all these years, (and her yours) and to have been blessed with your beautiful whanau- May they be your strength and bring you joy now.
How I fondly remember our youth looking out for each other.
Sending love to you all, kindly Kate Poiner, Wellington. (nee Farr, formerly of Kaiapoi.)
