You were so obviously loved by your family and everyone whose life you touched. I will miss the visits and the chats. Rest peacefully Nita ❤️ A poem: “My love, I was so wrong. Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined. So close you look past me when wondering where I am. It’s Ok. I know that to be human is to be farsighted. But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living.“ By Andrea Gibson

A beautiful special lady. So much of my childhood spent at your house in Merrilands with Kristin. We were always greeted with a “Hi dear” and offered snacks. We had great bus trips to town & fun sleepovers. I will miss seeing you at the Merrilands shopping complex. A true life angel on earth and now one in heaven Lots of love to your family who will all be missing you so much Love Brooke x
