Rihari TOIA Memoriam

TOIA, Rihari (Richard) Puru (Koko). On November 22, 2007 at his residence in Dargaville, Northland. Born December 13, 1933 in Waimate North, Bay of Islands. It is 10 years now and our lives have carried on. We have cried, and laughed and sung your favourite songs. But when we are worried, tired or weary, we always remember you, and wonder what you would have done. We go to bed and then get up with the sun. We brush everything off, and put on a smile, then go face the world, and go that extra mile. Give thanks to God, for letting us get things done, And remember you and give thanks for all that you have done, We miss you Dad, we always will. But the world goes on, just the way you said it will. Moe mai i roto i nga ringaringa o te Atua e Papa xxx...
