Depression, PTSD, and Anxiety are very real. I would like 3 of my friends to post this (not share) so I know who I can talk to if I ever need to.

I wonder who will.

Kia Ora Lance and Alice,



I am writing to pass on my appreciation and thanks for ending this experience in the most beautiful way. After spending my last days with Dad in St.George hospital I had come out battered and bruised and I had my guards up. After our first meeting, I felt so comfortable with you. It was your aura and how I felt connected to you as far as our whakaaro goes with the almighty Lord above. You truly are, a blessing to this industry.



My Dad arrived in Tokoroa safe and sound. One of the feedback that I received from whanau and South Waikato funeral services is that they were impressed with the embalming and your handling skills. All they did was touch him up with a bit of makeup and it was a fast process from there so that whanau could view him. He looked good and Dad’s siblings are grateful for your hard work.



My deepest gratitude goes out to you. Thankyou for allowing me to embrace our Tikanga to send Dad off.



Ko Pohara te Marae, Ko Maungatautari te Maunga, Ko Waikato te Awa, Ko Ngati Koroki Kahukura te Iwi Ko taku Taute to Ingoa.



Love and Light,

Kelly Taute
