Kua hinga te ttara i Te Waonui-a-Tne,A totara has fallen in the forest of Tane.
A totara is a huge tree that grows for hundreds of years. For one of them to fall is a great tragedy. The fall will be so great that it will be felt in every part of the forest. In its wake it will leave an empty space that everyone will notice and the void left by you my cousin Russell King will be felt by all.
No reira Harere,Harere,Harere,
Therefore,Farewell,Farewell,Farewell,

From the youngest son of your late Uncle,Tamati Frederick Hudson and his wife my Ma,Joy Hudson.
