Dear Joyce, Jeni, Emily and Natallie and the extended Hughes family.

With heartfelt sympathy to you all.
The many fabulous words spoken of Brian at St Mary's on Tuesday told of the special, kind and generous man he was.
How fragile life can be.

I hope you all hold your treasured memories close and talk of them often. They will sustain you and give strength for the new days ahead.
I care deeply for your sorrow.

My heartfelt condolences to you Jeni on the loss of your fine man. I have never forgotten, nor will forget, Brian´s generous and imaginative assistance in 1999 when I needed some way of getting my face on billboards throughout Tamaki electorate, nor will I forget the beautiful friendliness of you both to me over the last 25 years. God bless you Jeni. Bruce MCGRAIL
