Zo Zo, my best friend and sister. I don't have the words to describe the heartache I feel to hear you are no longer with us in person. My brightest and fondest memories I hold have you in them as we danced, sang, laughed, made potions, dressed-up, made little videos, painted, bikes, swang, joked and cartwheeled at Beresford Street and Sylvia Road. I will always hold these memories close to my heart. I consider you my sister. I always have. I always will. We learned Feliz Navidad together with your Aunty Michelle and other Cousin/Sister Miri. It was one of the only Christmas songs you and I would tolerate. The Devil went Down to Georgia was one of our favourites as we danced and acted out the parts of the story as it played on an old burned CD. We teamed up together and were so hard on Miri (sorry Miri!). We did gymnastics together, learned to read together, were sung to sleep together and shared one of our biggest passions together - obsessing over Harry Potter. You saw me reading Harry Potter one day and were so determined to do the same. In a few days time you had read that same book cover to cover and remembered every part. We also shared some of the fiercest sisterly squabbles together with way too much drama for our little bodies. I have had a hole that never healed when you said goodbye at the end of the holidays and never returned. I was delighted when you showed up at our doorstep when we were 17 - though you had been through some dark times. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you through it. I wanted to be there with every fibre of my being and hoped that you would reach out when you needed your other sister. These past ten years I have held out hope that you would answer my calls to reconnect, my messages to you. But you weren't ready and that's okay. I just wish I could have had one last hug and goodbye. I hope one day to meet Teddy, your beautiful little mini Zo Zo and your lovely sister Hannah you spoke so highly of. Fly high Love GG

Beautiful Zoe From the very first time I saw you I was amazed with your beauty. Your visit to the UK was so very special. Your fascination with riding on a double decker bus (top front seat of course). We were driving and ot was night time when two voices began to sing. You and Hannah and its was absolutely angelic. You gave your room up for us when we visited and you showed us so much love and kindness.. The funny faces on photos was a must do challenge which amused us all. I will cherish the memories forever Rest in Paadise Zoe Jeanette x

I have very fond memories of Zoe being super kind and caring towards Jessy and Eddie as young kids. Much like her Mother, Zoe radiated warmth and compassion towards others. Thinking of all the whanau and sending lots of love. ❤️ Kia kaha Love Kim, Jessy and Eddie. Xxx

Zoe, you and your family were amongst my first connections when I moved to NZ. You all welcomed me in and treated me like family. I became an instant aunty and Jer an uncle to you and your sister Hannah. I will treasure those moments forever. And feel the privilege of having known you. Rest easy darling girl. Love Aunty Claire and Uncle Jer xx

The Zoe I remember was someone alone younger. She was cheeky, moody, full of herself and wanting be totally independent. She was wonderful. She was around 10 years old when I first met her. Zoe really did swoon me. My first Granddaughter, and now she's gone. I will miss her. I will continue to love her. I really do hope that Teddy has the same fire in his belly that you had. Lots of love Zoe xxxxxx Steve

Zoe, I have few words to say how much you will be missed, I can’t think of you without smiling…I will take care of mum and we will always talk of you, remember you and as always have a glass or two, rest easy sweetheart xx

I love you to the moon,... and back! I love you so much. So so much. You taught me love, kindness, patience, forgiveness, My girl I only have good memories of you forever. And forever I will wait to see you again in heaven. You were such a kind happy gentle girl. We run around laughing so much. I am so unbelievably sad, I always looked forward to seeing you again. I will never forget you Zoe. I will always remember you Zoe. To you my life, my eternal life, Zoe.

I love you my beautiful Zoe. My heart is shattered and I can’t comprehend this is real. You are at peace now, and that is the only thing bringing me comfort at this time. I’ll miss you forever and look for you in everything and everyone. I promise to always remind teddy how much you loved him and adored him and we are already creating a village of people to love him and care for him the way you would have wanted. I love you bigger than a whale, always.
