To Susan and Jim, thank you for the wonderful memories of the major house renovations in Remuera we worked on together; all those years ago. The library was my favourite room there; though your new house in the Port Hills, which I saw when I visited, was truly remarkable. You were very special clients, I remember you both with great fondness. I regret losing touch after the earthquakes. Rest in peace. With great affection, Claire Chambers

Jim and Susan Wakefield both hold a special place in our school as our Duffy sponsors. A conversation I held with them one day made me really appreciate what humble and special people they were. Go well as a family with so many special memories to keep in your hearts.
