Dear Simone. I'm in absolute shock and disbelieve love to hear of your passing. Simone you were so amazing in so many ways. So many things stood out for me. You were my H/R Boss and what an amazing boss you were. Some of the memories I have of you are your laugh, kindness, caring, and such a all round special lady. You were an amazing mummy to Emily and a amazing husband to Craig. RIL my dear Simone xxxx

Simone, gone too soon, I met you in Sydney all those years ago and it was a privilege to meet the gorgeous lady who captured Craig’s heart. Rest in peace and I hope you are with my Ray in heaven looking down and giving strength to Craig who will carry on to support Emily. Love and light - Em House

Simone, it was a shock to hear you left us so suddenly and so soon. I have such fond memories of every time you visited and the wonderful time we had when we went to your wedding in New Zealand. You had such a lovely presence and really made me feel like somebody's uncle. I miss you already and will think about you forever. Love your Uncle, Achille

Simone, my first memory of hanging out with you was when you came to visit us in Florida when I was a little kid. You sat with me and taught me how to tell time and read a clock, which were the requirements for me to get my first watch. We didn't see each other a lot after that but I was lucky enough to attend your wedding and have a great time with you and the family. We also had a great time when you came to Florida for my brother's wedding last year. You will be missed and loved forever.

Simone, we didn’t know each other long, but you were such a remarkable person and it was such a blessing to have met you. I met Simone for the first time in 2017 and was lucky enough to attend her and Craig’s wedding. She was such a light and a joy to be around. Her, Craig and Emily then flew from NZ all the way to Key West, FL to see me and Adrian get married. ❤️ I know that one of Simone’s biggest accomplishments was the day Emily was born. I know she will do you proud and grow up to be just like her momma. We were all so lucky to know such a wonderful woman with a truly beautiful soul. I know she will watch over all of us as we grow through life. 🤍🪽

My darling Simone I was in NZ when you were born and have watched you grow into such a beautiful and accomplished young woman. All the travel around the world has been amazing to watch. The wonderful time we had with you in London with Joe and Adrian when you and Wendy took us all over London in one weekend was so memorable. We all had such a wonderful time. Also it was a glorious time to watch you and Craig walk down the aisle and see how happy you both were. We were so glad our family could share that with yours. Then for you to have Emily. Your dream came true to be a mother and what a mother you were. So loving and protective. She will do you proud Simone no doubt. Our American family were so thrilled when our NZ family were able to attend the wedding of Adrian and Chrissy in Key West. I thank God we were able to spend time with you then. There are no words to describe this entire family’s loss. How cruelly you have been snatched away from us. So suddenly but our biggest regret is that you were just at the beginning of the second chapter of your life as a wife and mother. Our hearts break for Craig and Emily and your mother and your Auntie Sandra and Uncle Paul. All so devastated. Goodbye sweet princess and rest in peace. I will love you forever, Auntie May
