    Jen, my sister and grieving wife of beautiful John has asked me to pass this message on to you:

    dear friends...

    I want to thank you with all my heart for the incredibly kind, generous help you've given me in the aftermath of my beloved husband John's death two and a half months ago.

    Your contributions have been a huge help at a very difficult, painful time, reducing the stress of managing funeral costs and all that goes with it.

    My lovely sister set up this page because she knew we don't have spare money. Dealing with profound grief has been, and continues to be, all-consuming, exhausting and shattering. Not having to worry about covering funeral bills and unexpected costs thanks to your help has been a massive relief - I can't thank you enough. I feel very humbled and extremely blessed,

    with love and gratitude

    Jennifer

  • Update on John

      3 March 2018

    A huge, heartfelt thanks to everyone who has so generously donated to this most worthy cause.

    Our darling John took his final breath on Friday 2nd March at 10:22am with peace, a wry smile on his face and his hands gently clasped across his stomach. He had been surrounded by an incredible amount of love, music, humour, tenderness and dignity for the two weeks he was at home.

    His passing will leave a huge hole in the world of all who knew and loved him and we are all just coming to terms with the impact of this. Day by day.

    Your donations helped to provide the resources needed to ensure John had the best care from his loved ones in his own home. Family and friends travelled from far and wide to support him and his family and your donations helped to transport them, feed them and make sure they were well cared for.

    John's wish was to have a small, private cremation in the days after his death and a larger celebration several months later in his home town of Auckland. Your donations will enable this to happen for him and his family and other loved ones.
