Hey my bootiful niecee..
I watched the videos on your Facebook last week omgoodness I was laughing so much bought tears to my eyes and I thought that's so Moosie. Cats and babies doing and saying funny things. That was the gift you bought to all who crossed your path bub, smiles laughter and feeling safe in your presence.
I farewell you today my necee and though my heart is sad I know you are safe, in a quiet place, in the arms of our lord.
Love and miss you my necee.
Haere Ra. Till we meet again.😘
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved niece, Mel. Her warmth, laughter, and kind spirit touched everyone who knew her. Though her time with us was far too short, her memory will live on in our hearts forever. We will miss her dearly and cherish the moments we shared.
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
May the winds of Love blow softly and whisper in your ear
“We Love and Miss you
and wish that you were here”
Deep in our Hearts, your life is kept to Love and Cherish not forget. A silent thought, a secret tear keeps your memory near.
Love Sharon, Warren, Liam &

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.
