On behalf our my siblings I want to pass on to the Smith “girls” and families our sincerest condolences. Aunty Rewa will be always remembered by us as a smiling, laughing and right proper lady to be around as children of the Invercargill Garrison Band following there practises and quickstep practice.
Influential to us as were the other Aunties and Uncles of the band.
