Ngā mate
Ki kā mate o ia whānau, haere atu rā koutou. Haere ki te kāika o kā mātua tīpuna e tari ana ki tua o te ārai. Moe mai ki te moeka roa, moe mai i te rakimārie. Haere atu rā. Ki kā whānau Tipa, Hampsted, Mamaru, Graveson, Orbell, Horomia me Porete; kia kaha, kia manawanui. Ka mihi aroha ki a koutou kā whānau. Rātou ki a rātou, tātou ki a tātou, tēnā koutou katoa. Nā David Higgins.
Rā whānau
Happy birthday to all those celebrating their birthdays this month.
