  • To my grandfather, Cyril who fought bravely for NZ in Egypt and other foreign lands. You came back and became a cobbler but never really survived the war wounds entirely and succumb to pneumonia at the age of 47. Too young, forever in my heart and Mum's heart.

    Kia Kaha. We will remember you.
