Christopher Te Wheoro Obituary

TE WHEORO, Christopher. A mighty Totara tree has fallen but his roots will always remain. On Tuesday 9th August 2011 at his home in Papakura. Much too young at only 50, he had so much more life to live. Beloved husband of Deborah. Dearest Dad to Anaru, Annika, Angeline, Maryam, Sefa, Aggie, and Koro and Ko to all his mokos. We will miss you. He will lie at Wairoa Marae in Tauranga from Thursday afternoon 11th August. Funeral on Saturday 13th August at the above Marae.

Hey Baby, Three years my darlin, sometimes it seems so much longer and at others it's like only yesterday you left us. Although life has changed oh so much for the three of us there will always be one constant and that is the LOVE we all shared and still do for you, that will never change.
Until The 12th Of Never My Darlin. Deb's xx

Hey Baby, 9th August, it was 2 years since you left us. It was so good to go to Tauranga and be with you at your grave. Then that night once again we had open home and our friends and whanau came to share a drink or two and memories. What a night we had remembering you. listening to the music you loved. I hope you enjoyed the chinese laterns we sent into the night sky for you as much as we all did. What a wonderful idea Anaru had getting those. As always darling, until the 12th of never, I'll still be loving you. Deb

Hey Baby. Happy 32nd Wedding Anniversary. It was a lovely surprise to visit you today to find Nicky had been to your grave and left flowers for me to let me know she was thinking of us on our day. I am so lucky to have really special friends who know and try to understand what life is like for me without you and who go above and beyond to let me know they care. I am so blessed that we made so many good friends and have wonderful family to support me. Miss you my babe. Love You Always.

Hey Baby, your birthday has rolled around again. It was nice to have all the kids here with me, having chinese for dinner a few drinks, talking about you and sharing in one of your favourite pastimes - watching telly. We all miss and love you so very very much. We know you are watching over and protecting us and we all love how you keep locking the door on your old car, gives us such a giggle, although at times a little frustrating for Ag & Sef, but it's nice for them knowing you are still around and still have your sense of humour.
Love U Babe.

Hey Babe. It's been 10 months now. I have been to Hawaii and Fiji and know that you were with me on both trips. The healing in Hawaii was fantastic but now as it is fast approaching the anniversary of your passing the longing to have you buy my side physically is becoming more intense. Anaru was just playing Until the 12th of Never and the tears weld, that song is so true as I will love you until the 12th of never. Thank you for coming to me when I close my eyes and think of you, I know in my heart you are constantly with me but when I see you when I close my eyes it just seems to make it more real. I love you my darling.

Hey My Darling. It would have been our 31st Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday 10th January. I hope you liked the flower I placed on your grave. I know, I know you can't eat flowers but I had to mark our day somehow. You know I never thought visiting a grave would be so important to me as I've never had one for my Dad and Step Dad, but visiting your grave gives me some sort of strength and each time I come away feeling lighter. I love talking to you, singing to you and I'm sure there have been signs that you are there with me. I just wish I could feel you and touch you. I love you so much my darling and miss you deeply.

Hey Baby, it's been 3 long months without you. It still doesn't seem real that you won't walk thru the front door again. I love and miss you more with each passing day. Forever in my heart and thoughts.
