Only a few months ago, you were over here, in France, and shortly before that, I met you in Auckland and your parents kindly welcomed me into your family home. We had some fun times including St Patrick's Day down in Auckland and the 'Voiles d'Antibes'. You were taken away too soon and I can only hope that you will be looking down on us, with your cheeky grin. It was lovely to have met you Fin, you were part of my 'big trip' to New Zealand. You were so young, too young, with high hopes and so much life ahead of you. Rosemarie, Matthew and Nick, my deepest condolences. Rest in peace, wherever you are, Fin. Love, Kate

Finlay Dunning, Fin. I will never forget the time you stayed with us in France this year. My sister Kate had nothing but great adventures to share with us when she had stayed with you and your family over in New Zealand. I was so glad to have been blessed by your presence in our household. We laughed so much at times for someone I had just met I can only but cherish these moments forever in my heart. Our nights out in Antibes at the Quays pub surrounded by live music and friends and pizza nights in at the house up in the hills. No words can describe how saddened I am to hear of your sudden departure but know you will always be with us in our souls and hearts, here in France, and wherever you may be, may you rest in peace my lovely Finlay.

DUNNING, Finlay. Mr Fin was your name in our household, with the big blue eyes and the endless blonde curls. Anna and you were inseparable through your kindy and primary school years. We will always have wonderful and funny memories of that era in your life. Our deep condolences to your family at this tragic time. The Major family.
