7 yrs ago you came into our lives beautiful lady. You were welcomed with open arms, instantly becoming one of the family. You bought the best out in Nick, showed him what love was and he in turn bought the adventure out in you and he loved you unconditionally. Next big adventure was your son Xavier. A wonderful surprise from the beginning, a special little gift a part of you and Nick. Although you are no longer here on this plain I know you will be watching over and guiding them from the next. Whenever I see the Piwakawaka -fantail I will know you are close by. Rere noa wahine ataahua, Aroha ki a koe. Kia tutaki ano tatou. Fly free beautiful wahine Love you, until we meet again .

Smiley, happy, shy, ,a keen sense of humour, gentle, stoic, trusting, loving, born to be with kids - that is how I knew Tina. Our paths first crossed when she was 7, and she had just completed cancer treatment. Had I not been told about this, I would never have guessed; she was just such a happy little girl. I watched her grow into a gorgeous young woman who just lived to be involved with kids. I was utterly stoked for her when she gained her Early Childhood Care qualifications, and this was upped even further when she gave birth to her beautiful boy. She wanted to be a mum, for sure. She was close to her family, and she had a special bond she with her dad. Her beautiful presence will be greatly missed, but her memory will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. An angel, now flying with the best.
