Hannah, it was a pleasure being your lash tech and getting to know you this year! I looked forward to our appointments every week and the stories you would share. I am beyond devastated that I only found out today about your passing. I hope you have found peace. I love you forever!!!!
Forever fly with the angels you beautiful girl.
Hannah, it was a privilege to work with you and guide you toward your course at Toi Ohomai. I will never forget you. Rest easy beautiful girl. Love and support to your parents, brother and family.. Rosie Swinkels Mount Maunganui College
Dwayne, Lisa, Deepest condolences my thoughts are with you.
I didn’t know Hannah very well, but because I’m a busybody snoop and have a teenage boy who doesn’t tell me fun stuff like who he likes, I had to slyly figure things out. Luca, I found out, had a crush on a beautiful girl with dark hair called Hannah about three years ago. I didn’t know much, but I’d catch glimpses from time to time when she came to our house to visit. From what I managed to glean, she was kind, funny, beautiful, and mischievous. I know Luca wouldn’t mind me saying that he is devastated she isn’t here lighting up lives right now. She embodied the saying “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” She did that simply by being herself. You sound like someone who made the ordinary feel extraordinary. I hope we all go through life like you, Hannah. I wish we had longer to learn and live that with you, and for you to have that. We will never forget that lesson. You will light us always.
We are devastated to hear of your loss. Hannah was an earth angel and such a beautiful soul. Always so kind, thoughtful and that lovely smile. We have such fond memories of her. Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you all. So much aroha. Rebecca and Pepa. Xxx

Heaven got an angel, so pure, so true, The moment it opened its gates for you. Your smile now shines where stars are born, A light to guide us through the storm. The world feels different, quiet, and still, A space that only your love could fill. Though you’ve gone where we can’t see, Your spirit lives in memory. We’ll look to the sky when the night is clear, And feel your presence, warm and near. Heaven got an angel — too soon, it’s true, But heaven’s brighter now, because of you. 🤍 Kua riro tētahi ange ki te rangi, māmā, pono hoki, I te wā i huaki ai ngā kūaha mōu. Kei reira tō menemene e whiti ana, i ngā whetū e whānau ana, He mārama hei ārahi i a tātou i te āwhā. Kua rerekē te ao, quiet, ā, tau ana te wairua, He wāhi e kī ana i tō aroha. Ahakoa kua wehe koe ki te wāhi kāore e kitea, Kei roto tonu tō wairua i ngā maumahara. Ka titiro tātou ki te rangi i te pō mārie, Ka rongo i tō aroha, wera, tata hoki. Kua riro tētahi ange ki te rangi — ā, he pōturi, he tika, Engari kua whiti ake te rangi i tēnei mea nāu
Sending love and strength. Rest in love Hannah xxx

“For the One We Miss” Your light was brief, but oh, so bright, A star that burned through darkest night. Though silence falls where laughter played, Your love remains — it will not fade. In every dawn, her spirit gleams, In whispered winds, in tender dreams. Though hearts are broken, love will stay, And guide you through each shadowed day.
There are no words that can ease the pain you're feeling right now, and we are deeply sorry for the unimaginable loss of your beautiful daughter. Our hearts go out to you during this incredibly difficult time. 🕊️💔
Beautiful Hannah, I'm so sorry you left us. Please Know that you were loved by all, and will be sadly missed, but definitely never forgotten XXX
