Mel, you were such a kind, caring, thoughtful person. You were loud, bubbly, outgoing and friendly. You were such a fantastic mother to Levi and you should be really proud of yourself in raising such a great boy. We will all look after him for you xo We'll also help out as much as possible with your mum and look after her aswell xo You are going to be dearly missed, but please can you pay us all a visit now and then. Love you Mel, and I want to thankyou for accepting me and letting me into your life and being a friend xo Dennis also sends his love to you and the rest of the familly xo

Your character left footprints on my daughters hearts they cried when I told them the news we all did. Thanks for being their aunty Mel! ❤️ I hope your looking down drink in hand an seeing just how loved you are! I dont think itll ever sink in.

Mel. Sumo tits here. You know why I can't be there and it breaks my heart. I'm sure you are laughing saying "fucking typical" but you also know im so sad that I couldn't get my car fixed in time. We had some incredible memories. I love how much honesty you bought to the table, your zest for life and just not giving a fuck. It was so good seeing what an incredible mummy you were and always will be to Levi as I know you will protect him from above. Seeing you in December was a life saver in such dark times. Thankyou. You knew, you just knew. I will see you again xxxxx

Thinking of you today Mel. Your smile, kindness and your love of your son, Levi he will always have wonderful memories of his mum. Your love of your family was strong and this will be their strength. Barbara and Ray Hollier family Drake family

Mel, we never knew each other well all those years ago when we first met, but you were always fun and good for a laugh. In the last few years we started chatting more, comparing notes on bringing up little hell raisers, and how much we love them! Your passing shook me hard, so unexpected and so tragic, you were to young, to full of life. My heart breaks for Levi and your family. It makes my soul happy knowing you got that last special trip with Levi to Queenstown, a beautiful memory for him to hold onto. Who will I get lunchbox inspiration from now… I will miss our daily snaps, our little chats and your weekly Sunday roasts pics… who will I send my food photos to…. I know it seems silly, but our constant contact over the trivial things in life had become a constant and I miss it dearly. I will miss you dearly. I’ll have a bourbon and coke and think of you, I dont drink bourbon, but I will have to start. Your life was worth celebrating. Cheers Anika & Isla May x

Love you forever woman ♥️🥺 My thoughts are with your family and beautiful son Levi. Enjoy those cold ones with your dad. Forever cherish our memories and friendship. RIP Mel ♥️😭😢

Best Mum in the world! I miss you so much already xx

Gone from our sight, But never our memories Gone from our touch But never our hearts
