My deepest condolences to Geoff, Michael, Andrew, Neal and the whole Wai Poi family. As a friend to Neal going back to Auckland Grammar days in the early 80s, Violet was always so welcome to me, fed me her delicious cakes, short bread, sausage rolls etc and was like a second Mum to me. Rest in peace and love always. Colin Gin
