Dear Rena
I don't know you well Rena but I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you - I am so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your whanau. Tracey P. (SLT MOE)

I only met you a few times through the Te Ataarangi class I attended. You left an impression because what you embodied was something I've only ever experienced in a handful of people over my lifetime and they were old kaumatua and kuia. May you rest in peace Wira and may your wife and children eventually find a sense of peace amongst the grieving.

It's hard to find the words to do Wira justice... though I didn't know him for long I will always remember and be grateful to Wira for starting me off on my journey of te ao Maori in such a supportive, gentle, good humoured way. Aroha nui to Rena and whanau x

Wira, so much love for you. Since the kids started school, you were the man to look up to. Strong, smart, humble, cheeky, sweet, talented and ALWAYS a joy to be around. My love to you. My love to Rena, you were the sweetest of hearts. A great example to your gorgeous, talented and kind children. We have all lost so much too early. I'm sorry to the whanau, I am late in learning this news, and will not be with you tomorrow. But you are all in my heart and mind. xxx arohanui Eden and Freedom

Moi mai Wira. My thoughts and aroha to your Rena and your children and to those that are surrounding your precious whnau with strength, love and protection at this time and in the days to come.

I will always remember and cherish the kindness you and your whanau showed me in my darkest hour. There aren't any words to best describe how thankful I will forever be. May your kind, gentle soul rest in eternal peace Wira. You will be sadly missed!
My thoughts and prayers to Rena and the children...

Love to you Wira...Marlene, Maiki, Lewis and Joel. You touched all our lives. Thanks xo

Wira was a kind, humble person, a gentleman in the true sense of the word who supported the whanau of Hauora Matauraka in so many ways.He will be dearly missed by all who know him and our hearts go out to Rena and the whanau, a great loss for them and our community. No reira e te Rakatira moe mai, haere koe ki te taha a o matua tipuna, ki te whare tuturu o te takata, haere haere haere. Kia Rena me te whanau pani kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui. Aroha tino nui Tahupotiki, Marcia, Ariana and Makere Te Whanawhana xxxx

moe mai ra e te rangatira, ka heke nga roimata, ka tangi te ngakau.

A true warrior; a true rangatira; a true tane toa; gone to soon.
