He d planned to reunite with New Zealand family members, including his daughter for the first time in a year, then go to the funeral in Tauranga tomorrow. I ve had up until yesterday to get used to the fact Mum s passed away. When I couldn t go to the funeral that was a whole new level of bewilderment I guess. I was just not sure how to take it to be honest, he said.
