Oh beautiful lady. You came to me only 3 months ago for some help in your healing. You had a special light and energy about you as sick as you were. Im so sorry we didn’t have more time, and you didn’t get to Mexico. Feel blessed to have met you. Thank you. Rest in peace, your spirit is needed elsewhere. love & lightness Chrissie

Memories of Rah 💙🦋💙 My earliest memory of Rah was meeting her as a young girl in Port Vila. She was cruising with her parents and younger brother Busty aboard their steel yacht Saltheart. Pete and I sailed with the Poolman family on our trimaran, through the southern islands of Vanuatu and then buddy boated home to NZ. My last sailing memories were in Tahiti aboard a charter catamaran Manavai II. Rah was my co skipper and between us both we managed to negotiate the coral reefs and narrow passages of this magical paradise. Rah's smile was infectious and her energy and passion for life always uplifted me when we met. So it's farewell & Aroha to Rah and to my Lucy, our Sailor Girls. They will be the stars to guide us through this life until we meet up again💜

My darling sunshine girl, I can't believe you are gone. I love you forever and will miss you everyday. I will look after Jayd for you and give him the love, support and cuddles that he deserves. I am happy you are out of pain but saddened that your body let you down. "We were beating this"we said and you did everything in your power trying. We moved your garden to our place yesterday so I have you with me. Love you forever Mum xx

Dearest Rosemary, It has been wonderful knowing you right through your life, watching you grow from a fun and adventurous tot to a wonderful capable woman. Your zest for life and good things was always fierce and genuine. I found your presence and energy so encouraging and compassionate. I loved learning new things from you in the realm of pure and organic living. Darling girl, mermaiding and the oceaning antics we shared will always be treasured deep in my heart. I will hold your precious mother, father, brother, son and family close to me as long as I'm gracing their presence together on this Earth. May you rest peacefully knowing you really were a special ray of sunshine soul. Meilan (Wah), Oceanna (Nix) and I will love you forevermore. God bless you dear Rah, until we meet again .. ❤⚘❤ xxx

Rah, what a ray of sunshine you carried with you. We will hold close to our hearts the memories of times we spent together embracing life to the fullest as you always did. May your spirit live on forever ❤️

Rah, It’s too soon, and as I struggle to accept that you are gone, I think of all that you are- your strength, determination, curiosity & positivity. I’m forever grateful to you. As I watch Jade continue to grow, I will do my best to honour the path you paved. Thankyou for sharing everything that you are. Thankyou for your strength and guidance. Thank you for Jade. Thank you for your love and kindness. I will miss you so much. I wish we had more time. I love you Phoebe x

My dear darling Rah, Nothing I write here could sum up the complex beauty of you. Your loving, open, loyal friendship got deeper than any friendship I have had. You knew how to truly listen and care, solving the puzzles of life together, consoling each other in the sad times, celebrating the good, always sharing knowledge on how to live better in mindfulness, love, health, adventure and fun. I never met anyone that matched my connection to spirit and land and philosophy like you and that sisterhood made me feel seen and loved from our first meeting. Together we learnt how to open up authentically, heal and grow, to be better deeper versions of ourselves. Thank you for the life changing nomadic adventure across Australia, Bali, Gilli Air and all the camping, dancing, hiking, music making and for sharing my family journey since our kids were babies. Thank you for making this world a better place. I will love and remember you smiling until we meet again. May your spirit radiate in ever-expanding joy for eternity.

Dearest Rah, Soul Sister, true friend and beautiful mother. We have been blessed to have had you in our lives. You have touched us all with your “Rahness”. Your spirit and memories will live in our lives forever. Shine bright in the skies above. Love & miss you, Charlene, Carl, Carter, and Cohan xxxx

In loving memory of Rah, who embraced life on her own terms, savouring each moment with boundless enthusiasm. My heartfelt thoughts are with her beautiful son Jayd and family in New Zealand today. As her three sisters, we love her dearly, cherishing the memories we recently shared with her in Mangawhai that forever live in our hearts.

Rah, you were an inspiration to us all. Always happy and caring nature. Your food creations were inspirational as well as wholesome and healthy. You where are great mum and will be missed by everyone you touched in your life. God bless and I will look you up when I join you one day.

Dearest Rah, I hear your laugh and I see your smile. I hear you call my name still as I feel your presence around me saying everything is ok from the unknown. In live you taught us how to be free too, how to live in the wild without fear, you gathered gems friendships a sisterhood of women. I am forever grateful to you in so many ways. I will watch over Dear Jayd. Soar high where your next adventure awaits deareat Rah until we meet again.

Your sprouting smiles bag turned up last Saturday out of the blue & I was remembering all those fun times at our very first Australian symposium together in 2011 we sat in the front row! And our trips to Hawaii and Malaysia we had together! So much fun! You were with me, I felt you, I went to message you … And then I received the news. Your sustainable healthy conscious life, our similar passions of healthy organic raw food together, oils together and I was sure we’d get through this cancer journey together too. ❤️‍🩹 It feels so unfair you were chosen too soon. You will always be remembered for all your yummy recipes & oily tips you shared, your earth mother hippie nature, your kindness and fun. May you rest now pain free... Fly high now siSTAR, fly high 🤍

Rah you were such a generous, free & creative spirit with a great knowledge of all things raw food. You inspired & introduced us to so many culinary delights like your amazing raw Christmas cake. We had so many fun adventures & I still can't believe I won't see you on this earth again. You will be missed. Till we meet again one day friend ❤️

I will miss you endlessly ❤️ This time of year we're supposed to be sending pics of each other's handy work for our boys birthday cakes I can't fathom that instead I'm writing this...You were my rock through many dark times and I'm lucky I had you in my life the past 18 years. You were a wonderful mother and a vibrant, funny, beautiful woman. I will never forget you.

Rah enriched many people’s lives in so many ways. A true example of following what you believe to be true and sharing it with others. Will miss her words of wisdom, passion and friendship. She definitely left a trail of light behind her by her example.

Rah, thank you for welcoming me into your family with such a warm and open heart. You felt like a third sister to me and I’m going to miss you very much. We’ve shared lots of laughs, trips and cosy times at home together. Your snack plates were such a treat! You were the best Aunty to Jack and Harry. You taught Jack how to roar like a dinosaur and you gave Harry so many cuddles. Your kindness, wisdom and positivity will stay with me forever and I look forward to telling Jack and Harry stories of their wonderful Aunty Rah. Shine bright. Love you always, Erin xxx

Rah, your powerful spirit shines on! I felt you riding the crystal wave alongside me yesterday, smile beaming as always as we shared a party wave then you flew off the lip and into heaven laughing all the way! A champion of living a conscious, fit and healthy life. Your delicious food and fruit smoothies were sublime. I admire your adventurous nature and willingness to share your abundance of knowledge on wild edibles. Our fun times African dancing and sister gatherings are stored in my heart’s treasure chest. Oceans of love to you and you family 💕

Rah, it is so hard for me to accept you are no longer here in body. I remember when I first met ypu, I knew I wanted to be your friend. You were such an earth woman. Always barefoot, climbing rocks, foraging. I loved our times in the kitchen together, our drives to landmark, you like a speed demon with the car on cruise control and sitting cross-legged. We all enjoyed having you and Jayd living on our land in the bus. I am incredibly saddened by your death and it was truly way too soon. You brought so many of us together and empowered myself and I know many others to be greater versions of ourselves. I will be forever grateful for having met you and getting to know you. Peace to you on your journey now SisSTAR!

Rah, when I think about you, I think about your boundless energy for all things adventure. Your beautiful broad smile and bright eyes. Your fierce independence. Your courage and strength. Your love of nature and your joy and intuition in being an amazing mum. You lived your life well. Rest peacefully beautiful lady. We love you x

To have you here in England was so wonderful How you loved that egg separator and the smells of herbs and variety of weeds in our garden How we shared the love of being one big family Every time we see the sea or the blooming of a new blossom we will think of you Till we meet again beautiful Rah- you’re forever in our hearts

It is with great sadness that i must accept the passing of my beautiful niece way earlier than i could ever have imagined. I held her soon after her birth. and we shared some of life's adventures from that early time. I will now no longer see her lovely smile and enjoy her enthusiasm for life and i will miss her greatly but will always remember her with love.

Fly high dear Rah, you always had the most amazing smile and zest for life. Keep smiling down on us. Wish I could be there to celebrate your life. You are in my thoughts and I am sending all my love to you and the family. Love always Meilan xxx

My dear Rosemary, better known as siSTAR, what a blessing it has been to have you as a friend! I miss you already. Our cups of tea, deep conversations, warm hugs...Thank you so much for all the love and care you've given me. May the Lord Jesus Christ rest your soul in His Love and Mercy!

Our ray of sunshine ☀️ is now a big bright star💫. Ill keep dancing 💃🏻with you. Keep guiding us from above, down below with big neon signs. 🌹

We only knew you for a short while Rosemary but you have certainly left a deep imprint in our hearts. What a gem and courageous spirit. Thank you for everything. Our lives are much richer for knowing you and we wish it had been for much longer. Sincere condolences to your family at the loss of their ‘Sunshine Girl’.
