    Hi everyone,

    As many of you know it was always Phil's intention to write another book, more of a memoir and something that he could leave for Rhys and Matty as a legacy of his life.

    After speaking with the family we thought it would be a lovely idea for all of you, Phil's family, friends and followers, to take part in creating a book of memories.

    It also gives you the opportunity to say some final words and thoughts to Phil in his memory.

    If you would like to take part, would you write your story about Phil and how you met him. Please include anything funny, some history, photos etc.

    There will be so much the family don't know that will be wonderful for Rhys and Matty to learn about their Dad from so many people who had a chance to know him.

    Please feel free to also say your farewell and write anything you wish to share about the impact Phil has had upon your life.

    Down the track the family will look into collating these memories into a book keepsake for the family.

    Please share your stories either on Phil's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/phil.kerslake.5 or email to phil@lifepaths.co.nz

    Kind Regards - Marion

    on behalf of the Kerslake Family

  • Thank you, Merry Christmas and next steps.

      25 December 2021

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far and shared the page amongst their networks.

    The money raised so far will give Phil's family time to work through the next steps and hopefully over the next 12 months raise enough money to keep the family home.

    A lot more needs to be raised in order to achieve this so if you have any fund raising ideas please message us here or if you can spread the Give a little page wider please do.

    We have some ideas brewing so will update the page in the New Year.

    Thank you all for your generousity, kind words and thoughts it means so much to the family.

    Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season.

    Kind regards - Marion (Friends of the Kerslake Family)
