Claire was such a kind, supportive friend when I was driving through to Rotoiti from Tutaki each day to teach at the school. I remember her taking me for an evening dip in the (not very warm) lake.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We have many fond memories of Claire and Brian, from Spring Grove Church of Christ days who were just a little younger than our parents. We especially remember great times at staying up the Lake at Bonnie Doon.
From the Hunter family ex Clover Road Brightwater.
