Dear Bette, so very sorry to learn of Pete's passing recently. As our 'neighbour's over the back fence' in Te Anau we enjoyed our regular catch ups with you both. Your love of the gardens around your home was evident to all as they passed by.
Treasure the years of memories you created together and shared with your family.
"Rest in Peace" Pete - you have earned it.
