Messages

Was deeply saddened to know of the death of my dear Friend Henk. Have such happy memories of the visits I made to both he and Marian at Racecourse Road and I greatly treasure the stories he told about how he came to live and work in New Zealand. A warm Christian man who made the most of his opportunities and the special God given gifts he had with his painting and decorating skills. I know all of his family will miss him so much but take comfort from the fact that he lived a full and wonderful life and is now at peace in the place which God prepared for him.
My deepest sympathy and much love to you all.
