Ben - So terribly sorry to hear of your loss. May you remember them all fondly in years to come as the grief softens. We remember you very fondly from days at Counties Manukau DHB (rock-climbing team building!). Take care, with much love and best wishes from Ali, Tony Brown and Ray Naden.

To the Taufua Family....May God give you peace and comfort, lets THINK OF ALL 13 ANGELS now making a Taufua Hotel up in heaven,God may have taken them for a reason,for sure He need them more there and they are very happy, so lets be happy too, just savour the memories while they were here on earth, for sure you will all meet again, as we all end up in the NEXT LIFE, but for now as the Tuaminator David Tua said on the night of his fight, LETS BE STRONG FOR THE LIVING,.... GOD BLESS YOUR WHOLE FAMILY AND ALL THE OTHER SAMOAN FAMILIES who are in the same situation as you! But our hearts and prayers are with you and we may not know each others, but as a true Samoan you are family!!
