Pānui Matenga

Peachey.—ln sad but loving memory of our darling father, Pte. W. Peachey, killed in action, Ausonia, Italy, January 5, 1944.
Sleep on dear father and take thy rest,
Rest thy head upon thy Saviour's breast
We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best.
Longed for; prayed, remembered always.
—Inserted by his loving children, Riripeti, Mahinaroa and Wiremu.
Peachey.—ln loving memory of our dear son, William, killed in action in Ausonia, Italy, January 5. 1944.
Many await the last all clear,
With heart of joy and gladness.
Give us that hope for you dear son,
Instead of sorrow and sadness.
What would we give to clasp your hand,
One day in Eternity we pray.
—Inserted by mum and dad.
Peachey.—ln loving memory, of William, killed in action in Ausonia, Italy, on January 5, 1944.
Things have changed in many ways,
But one thing never changes,
The memory of those happy days,
When we were all together.
Just to see your loving face
Come smiling through our door.
—Inserted by his loving brothers, Sonny, Jim, Tom, Busby, Walter, Bob, Dave and Michael.
