To the Brosnahan families, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Mother, Nana ,and Great Nana...my cousin . I spent a lot of my years growing up around Mary and Leo at Gapes Valley, and earlier years at Seadown when Mary was still single and in love with her horses, one I remember vividly was Trigger which she rode in many events successfully . Thank you Mary for all our good times and a lot of skills I learnt from you and Leo which have stood by me forever. MOE MOE RA ...REST IN PEACE...Lawrie and Sarah Feely Upper Moutere
