Some of you will know but it is with great sadness I inform you Mike Loftus husband of Amanda and Dad of Ella passed away yesterday after a long illness.
Condolences to Amanda and Ella during this very sad time.
Amanda and Ella – our thoughts and prayers are with you we both as we honour and remember Mike who has done so much for others.
Rest in Peace Mike.
E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga karangaranga maha o te wa
Hear the call
Rau rangatira ma tenei te mihi atu ki a kotou
Greetings to you all
Kua hinga tetahi o tatou
One of us has fallen
E te matua a ka nui te aroha atu kia koe
To you Mike, our immense love
Kua oti atu to hikoitanga ki runga i te mata o te whenua
Your time here walking amongst us has ended
Haere atu kia ratou kua wheturangitia
Go join your loved ones, all those who have gone before you
Haere takahia te ara whanui kia Hine-nui-te po
And journey to Hine-nui-te po
Haere ki te huihui o te Kahurangi
Haere ki a Hawaikinui, ki Hawaikiroa, ki Hawaiki pamaomao
Journey to the land of your dreams, your Hawaikinui, Hawaikiroa, Hawaiki pamaomao
Haere ki te runga rawa, ko ia te timatanga te whakamutunga
Journey to the Lord, for he is the beginning and the end
And as you journey cast your eyes over us one more time.
Ma tona wa ka tutaki ano tatou kia tatou.
We’ll meet again.
