A beautiful day indeed in Auckland, as close family and friends gathered to witness the unveiling of Kasi’s headstone at Purewa Cemetery. It was a reunion of sorts with brother Lepani (Tuks), wife Sophie and sons Kasiano and Julius traveling from the north of England to attend. Also attending from the UK was Kasi’s best mate Andy McGrory. Sister Mele came from Suva, Fiji, brothers Ioane Jnr from Brisbane and Sakiusa from Sydney whilst Nana came from Townsville. Sister-in-law Thorndyke and her two daughters Hera and Payton also flying in from Brisbane. Father-in-law Tim travelled from near Hamilton as did the Sing cousins Julian, Manasa & family, Pauline, hubby Peceli & son Zack! Kasi’s Air New Zealand mates came along too as did Troydyn’s work mates Alexis & Paige and very good friends Petra & family. Kasi’s aunts the Tagilala twins Jo & Ruthie graced us with their presence as did Tavale Bale, who essentially co-hosted the gathering. Former neighbors were happy to attend mentioning how Kasi had greatly impacted their lives. Other family and friends attended upon the invitation of Troydyn, the boys and Beryl.
After the unveiling, where Kasi’s Nana read some Scripture and said a prayer, everyone were invited to a sumptuous spread at the residence in Greenlane. Thank you very much Troydyn, Semi, Ioane & Beryl for having us all! 🥰 🙏🏾
