So sad that Pani has gone. It was great to catch up with her in Invercargill and have a lot of laughs, unreal how things stay the same no matter how many years have passed. Jay, Mahina, Aunty Dawn, Moana and Ken, Honey and I are sending love your way.
RIP Pani.

Gutted that I can't be there to support our whānau. It's really hard losing a child, let alone a wife, mum, nanna and sibling. The last time I seen Pani was when Dad and I came to visit several years ago (Dads been gone since 2023 so must've been 2021ish). So to all of you, sending the biggest of hugs and aroha as you all manage to cope with the terrible loss of such a beautiful beautiful cousin.

My heart and mind are full of yesteryear memories when our kids were younger and playing happily together and I cannot believe that one of our babies has gone. Dawn, Moana, Ken, Mahina, Jay & whanau, our love and thoughts are with all especially tomorrow, as you lay Pani to rest and say your last farewells. “E haere atu rã Pani, I’m so thankful we all got to spend more time with you in recent years. Your sudden passing has rocked our World and you will be sadly missed by us all.”
