Brother Harry's unveiling



My brother Harry passed away in December 2011,  In Maori culture the grave is veilled (without a headstone) and left for 12 months until the headstone is mounted.  I was unable to attend the unveilling ceremony so Jovy (sister-in-law) and Lorna-Jen (my niece) kindly sent me these photos.

70 white flowers on Harry's grave to represent his 70th birthday

Apparently it was a lovely but of course sad occasion with many of Harry's family in attendance.
