Bugger....I was just checking out The Gisborne Herald online and discovered something really sad news.

I can remember when all their kids were born (Steven, then Sean, then Sarah, then Samantha). Sarah was a really friendly, but typically cheeky kid and she would have been ten or eleven when I moved out of Gisborne in October 1998. Her parents separated last year and both ended up in Australia (Gary was an Aussie, but Raewyn was a Kiwi), however the kids (by then grown up) all stayed in NZ. Her mother Raewyn was one of the women who took legal action over the cervical cancer fuck-up at a laboratory in Gisborne (Dr Bottrell was the pathologist) and ended up forcing the cervical cancer inquiry. Raewyn was one of spokeswomen for the group and appeared on TV several times. She will be devastated over loosing her daughter Sarah like that.
