To my beautiful cousin Melissa I hold so much old memories in my heart of all the good times when we were growing up together, I was always excited to spend my holidays with you, aunty, uncle and Wendy they were the best times of my younger years. I remember grandad taking us in his orange Datsun from Rotorua back to Tauranga rolling down the backroads turning his car off to save gas lol. Now your are safely with him and nana about to keep them company. I will always remember and treasure our years together. Love you my cousin always and forever in my heart.

My beautiful cuzzy wuzzy. I can’t seem to find the words, the perfect words to say how much you meant to me. How to write how much space and love I have for you, how my heart breaks to no longer have you shinning on earth anymore. How I can’t see you again. How lucky I was as a little girl to have you to look up to. Grateful for all the memories we had that I’ll forever cherish. Fly high like the angel you are, until we meet again. Love you Moosie, always have xx
