Dear Kiri, Gregg, Tania and family, my deepest condolences to you all. I am filled with such deep sadness to learn of Rex's passing. I will continue to remember him with the love and respect I have always carried for him.
I am unable to attend the memorial and internment as I have commitments in South Taranaki but I will be thinking of and remembering Rex for the rest of my life.
