Jim and Gerri Steinke and Gary and Jean Stithem have today thanked everyone for their continued support, offers of help and "immeasurable kindness’’ following the fatal crash at the Waitomo Caves intersection on SH3 last month.

Kallan Stithem, 31, died at the scene while Kirsten Steinke, 28, was critically injured and remains in intensive care at Waikato Hospital. 

Mr and Mrs Stithem returned home to Denver, Colorado last week with their son's ashes. A vigil attended by more than 100 people was held for him in downtown Denver last Thursday night US time (Friday afternoon NZ time).

"We have very little ability to thank everyone as our focus is on Kirsten," said Mr Steinke today.

"But please be assured we are reading every email and every message passed onto us. In time we will respond to them," he said.
