Our love and thoughts are with you all, so sorry to hear of your loss, a true treasure x Michele, Olivia and Marty Dixon x

My most precious friend I'm so blessed honored and privileged to have had you in my life. Thank you for the unconditional friendship, love, laughs, tears, vents and adventures. I'm so sorry that after the many lessons of folding fitted sheets, mine still look like a sausage roll been run over by a truck!!!!! My laundry cupboard still is unmatched and I still can't find the lids to my containers as they are never together. I still fly by the seat of my pants and I only think of dinner at 4.00pm. My wardrobe is chaos and I should know better than to pack 10 minutes before I'm due to leave. I know you'll be shaking your head as I ended up bringing to different Jandel's to Aussie. At least I have my crocs!!! (Stop rolling your eyes!!!) . My darling I wish I could be there with you and your beloved family and friends. However I know you would kick my ass if I didn't go. I love you, miss you, honor you, respect you and adore you. A big piece of my lifes jigsaw is missing. Please give Dad a big hug. Till we meet again my beautiful.

Moe mai raa Debbie. Sending much love and thoughts to you all at this sad time. With love from the 'Nelson and Daisy Garland' whanau - Melba and Joe Lehan, the late Leo Garland, Barbara Garland, June and the late Rob Donkin, and families. Ka aroha hoki e te whanau.

I just wanted to say thanks & pay tribute to someone who left a deep mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing you Deb I've known you since I first turned up as a tall, lanky 18 year old @ Fraser Tech Rugby club many (many !!) years ago and our lives & families, have been intertwined ever since. For over 30 years, Karen & I have had the honour of calling you & Ange friends You are the kind of person who made every room brighter, not by demanding attention, but simply by being yourself — kind, genuine, quietly wise, and endlessly thoughtful. Whether it was your quick smile, your generous spirit, or the calm way you handled whatever life threw at you, you left a lasting impression on us all (& everyone you met.) Karen & I will forever be grateful for The way you cared for your family and friends — was something truly special. The bond was real and strong — built on mutual respect, laughter, and a quiet understanding that some people spend a lifetime searching for. Your loss is heart-breaking, to both of our families, and words will never fully capture the emptiness you leave behind. But I know this — your life mattered deeply, You made a difference, you loved and were loved in return. Although you're no longer here, your presence — your influence, your kindness, your laughter — will never be forgotten. Debbie— thank you , you are already deeply missed by us all, and will always remembered - Ange & family we will always be here for you
