POROPOROAKI MO TE WHAEA - TUI TENARI ONZOM
E te totara whakamarumaru,
E te toka tu moana,
E te puna roimata
Ko koe, a tatou whaea
Hoki wairua atu ra ki te tini me te mano, e kiia nei
Haere ki te toronga o Ihowa
Kua maaku te papa i maringi ai i nga roimata
Kei te moteatea tonu te ngakau mou
Arahina atu i nga tapuwae o koutou tiipuna kua haere i mua i a koe
No reira e te whaea, Moe mai ra koutou, Haere atu koutou, haere atu, haere atu ra.
We have been left bereft by your passing,
A void that cannot be fulfilled
You walked the walk
And talked the talk
Your life dedication to people with intellectual disablity and health was unsurpassed,
Your vision saw the inception of the roopu
Your leadership gave us strength
Your passion gave us humility
Your fight and vision saw the inception of the roopu, which has empowered so many
You will live on forever in our hearts and within Te Roopu Taurima O Manukau Trust
Rangatiratanga mo tatou katoa i runga i nga tikanga o tena o tena o tena
