Memories of you will never die for you are here with us in spirit and mind. Your words will be spoken, your knowledge will be shared, your words will be carried near and far. Our father blessed us when you came into our lives. You are who you are and your children now carry you in them. Not just in looks, but in mind and body. You will never be gone, and that is a blessing. All I have to do is look at your beautiful children and I see you. You are a dear friend and highly regarded Employer (My Boss) and I will never forget you.
Thank you for being you.
Love Casey and Ela Kraun.

In life you will realise that there is a purpose for everyone you meet
Some will test you , Some will use you ,
And some will teach you
But the most important ones will bring out the best in you
And accept you for whom you are.
It was said,
“ You're not one to mince your words or beat around the bush.”
“You told it how it was and if you don't like it there's the door”
I never got to meet that “Terry.” Some may even say I'm lucky.
Instead I met Terry who rang and said “Can we come in for a drive and later told us to take the bus out by ourselves. “Get the feel of it.”
Fresh out of training school, never driven a bus I felt honoured .
Thank you Terry for giving us that opportunity, and to you and Lyndon hand in hand
“You bought out the best in us.” Till we meet again, we will always be grateful for meeting you and will only have good memories of you.Our love and condolences to Gail, Lyndon & families
Ela & Casey Kraun

An Angel whispered
Take my hand and come with me
You're work here is done.
You went away to a place
Where there's no tears, nor sorrow
Only laughter and smiles,
There will always be a Tomorrow.
As you move amongst the clouds.
You'll look down and smile upon us,
While the angels sing a heavenly song.
You are not alone all who went before
are there they awaited your return.
You know we will grieve
and wish you were was still here
You are here in the memories we hold dear.
Remember how much we love you
Your pain is gone and you are Free!
God will be with you Just as He's with all that you hold dear.
RIP Terry love from Lawrence, Sue, Amanda, Curtis, Taipari and Kapua
