To Tara’s whanau, My deepest condolences to you all at this time. Sorry I couldn’t attend the service as I have just had surgery , yet it was good to view it by live stream. I will always remember Tara and the good times we had as friends on Waiheke over the earlier years as young mums through good times and hard times supporting each other. So many happy memories with Shane and Ashley when they were little ones and us together .It was lovely to see her find her soul mate in Durham and have the love and support she so deserved being the amazing mum and partner to build her life together with in her next chapter in her life happy and in love. I haven’t seen Tara for along time with myself moving around over the years to different places it’s easy so easy to lose contact with friends over the years . I’ve never been one for talking on the phone much ,as to the distance that prevailed. I have always wished her and Ashley and Shane all the best and it is heart breaking to hear of her passing to soon and I’m saddened that I didn’t get to say good bye it’s hard to process she has gone. I have been remembering all the times we spent together and the laughter and fun we shared together in the earlier years. Again my deepest condolences to you all and I do hope you find peace in your hearts and mind over time with your loss of Tara. RIP Tara Much love
