KIRKWOOD, Mereaina Noreen. Nana, as young kids we spent our holidays at Mangatangi with you and Papa. You took us to the creek, pools, camping and as teenagers you let us loose on road runner. As adults your hot bread was truly expectional but it really doesn't compare to not being able to see or hear you again. We will all miss you so much Nana. With much love your mokopuna George, John, Janelle, Kape, DJ, our families and our parents Janet and George Wheatley.
