Dhyreille Lomu turns 14, choosing to visit his dads grave.

The youngest of Jonah and Nadene’s son, Dhyreille Lomu turns 14.

The birthday boy, our Jonah Jr wanted to visit his dad’s grave for his birthday so we did. At the cemetery we were talking as we do said Nadene Lomu said in a Facebook post. The recent turn of events and how the Lomu family have been fighting to protect Jonah’s wishes in having his Estate Administered despite nine years in November, has been a gruelling time for them despite Nadene being the sole residuary beneficiary of Jonah’s estate in accordance with Jonah’s will and the boys know it all. However, the special day sparked concern yet again for the Lomu boys being without their dad, while visiting his grave side to clean his headstone and add more fresh flowers. The older of Jonah’s two sons, Brayley Lomu said, “mum if dad were still here none of what’s happening to you would be done,” Dhyreille Lomu, then saying very concerned, “yeah mum, all those people and the lawyer too mum it’s disgusting mum what he’s doing and it makes me so angry…he’s our dad and you’re our mum, and they should all back off and leave you alone mum and dad too!

IT'S NOT OVER!!

IT'S NOT OVER!!

The pain of not having closure, compounded by what has felt like antagonistic behaviour from the trustee, has been almost unbearable. Jonah’s absence feels even more profound with the estate still unresolved, despite further assurances that it would be administered in November 2018, acknowledgment that it was completed in February 2020 then again in June and July 2020. 
Regarding an appeal, my main focus and commitment is to have the estate wound up and all transfers administered in accordance with Jonah’s will, as his widow, mother of our sons and sole residuary beneficiary of his estate.
Despite all, the media have highlighted the powerful people and industries that Brayley, Dhyreille and I Nadene have been up against hence the battle being soul-destroying.
