The guiding soul and big cousin when we were growing up in Bell Block
You told koro that I took his tobacco when you caught me smoking.
You told me off for being stung by a bee at BBK primary. When we were told to stay away from the tree .
When you and Jock were starting your beautiful family.
Love you always cousin will miss you dearly.
Tania and whanau ❤

too bright to vanish from life
amazing daughter, sister and wife
the best mum that could be
and a loving aunty to me.
I remember your old morrie, it was grey
but you always brought colour to my day.
you leave behind riches beyond these worlds
in the form of your 3 beautiful girls.
I will celebrate the life you made
my love for you will never fade.
you taught me what laughter can do
and for that my dear Aunty, Thank you.
