E te iwi, he maimai aroha tēnei ki a Aunty Rose, tō tātou toka tū moana, te toka tūtaki i ngā ngaru whawhati o te Waikaukau o ngā mātua tīpuna kua riro. Te kanohi kitea ki ō marae, te taringa areare, te reo tio, te reo tōtika ki ngā kaupapa o tōna iwi o Ngai Tūhoe.

Kua mutu te ngau o ngā kino me ngā mamai o tēnei ao ki runga ki a ia i te ata pō nei. Waiho mai ko te aroha hai kawe i a koe ki o rahi, ki o nui, Otira rā ki ō Mātua, ki a Nani Ida me koro Ngarangi. Ki tō tuakana ki aunty Angeline me wāu na tungāne ki a Dana rāua ko Moana e tatari mai na. 

Ka hoki ia ki te Waimako i te ahiahi nei, a ka takoto ai mo ngā rā. Ko te nehu hai te hatarei 11am 31st 

It is with deep sadness that we inform you that our dearest Aunty Rose has passed away in the early hours of the night. She will be sorely missed. We will be taking her back to the Waimako marae this afternoon and laid to rest at 11am on Saturday the 31st October.

Pena ka hiahia te tuku whakaaro putea, tukuna ki te marae
