Ngā mate
We wish to acknowledge the passing of a much loved and respected Tāua, Aunty Yvonne Enoka.
Tāua Pōtae, as she was widely known, was a valued kaumātua, who represented Moeraki on a number of committees over many years. We shall miss her humour and her loyalty.
Takoto mai e Aunty Yvonne, takoto rakimarie i ruka i tō waka. Hoea atu tō waka ki te kāika o kā mātua tīpuna, moe mai i tō moeka roa, haere atu rā.
E te whānau, tēnā koutou i tēnei wā pōuri,
Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui, kia tau te rakimarie,
Ka mihi aroha ki a koutou nō te whanau ki Moeraki.
Tēnā tātou katoa.
Āpiti hono, tātai hono, te huka mate ki te huka mate, tātou te huka ora ki a tātou. Nō reira, tēnā koutou katoa.
Nā David Higgins.
