Thank you

Georgie, Claire and Peter.This photo of me and my parents was taken in September last year, the day before Jonathan and I left NZ.

Back then dad's cancer hadn't been diagnosed and it's hard to look at this picture without reflecting sadly on the past few months.

Throughout dad's illness, he and my family were shown such amazing kindness and compassion. And in the days since he died we have received so many wonderful messages of love and support. You can see some of them on his tributes page.

I'd like to thank everyone who has offered condolences, home-baking and shoulders to cry on. Your support has meant so much to me and Jonathan.

With love,

Georgie
