very sad time. My memories of Peter were when I was with my beautiful grandmother Bonnie Jean Parker, Peter was often there with his bagpipes...we were all 'kids' then and I was always in awe when he and Lyall played their bagpipes or did the highland fling or the sword dance. I feel so sad that Peter has passed, he was such a happy kind person...RIP Peter

We were sorry to hear of Peter's passing. Our family will be forever grateful that Peter played the bagpipes for our Dad's final farewell. We realise that Peter was unwell even then but he fulfilled our Dad's wish. We remember with fondness Peter coming to Mum and Dads to play the bagpipes and have a wee dram. RIP from the New Plymouth Macdonald clan

Pater - We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the aroha and wonderful support you gave to our Mokopuna Bailey and her Whanau.
Your support was totally focused on Bailey and her need to journey through life which gives meaning to who she really is and what she wants out of life.
Without your love and guidance Baileys journey would be so much harder.

Peter - you are now at rest after suffering so much but you will always be remembered with fondness in our hearts.
