Dear Margaret and family, your care for Ian as he's been declining over these months has been outstanding. I'm so glad Ngaire was able to be with you for his last days and share this hard but very precious family time with you all. I have happy memories of being in your home all those years ago - and have just remembered how you enabled Ngaire and me to holiday in your pop-up camper - I think at Lake Tekapo. Blessings as you farewell Ian on Thursday and then as you make decisions about the future. With love, Marjory (Gibson) McSaveney
