Abi My sister my first best friend in life I miss u more than ever right now i wish I could see u theres a hole in my heart that will never close I wish I had more time with you my heart is so broken but I was so lucky to have you as a sister you never judged me and always cared I love u so much xo

Well Abi Its hard to believe that six months have past. You have left a huge hole in our Whanau, and dearly missed by your aunts, and cousins and myself. You were such a big part of our world, your adventures shared by phone, whatsapp, photos and video call It seemed you took on the world head first and full throttle and your fuck it all attitude to life was hilarious Know that you were important, you were loved and you are loved. Like we used to laugh about that quote from the movie - You's is kind, you's is special, You's is inportant Nga mihi Nui

To my dearest friend Abi Such a lovely, intelligent and funny lady....you breezed into my life in early July, giving me one of the shortest and most fulfilling friendships of my life. You wanted my help to solve a mystery that had troubled you for years. For weeks we chatted, shared stories and pics....laughed and joked .. but in the end accomplished what we set out to do. And then suddenly all communication stopped. For days I worried that something was wrong. When your friend Laila from Oman emailed me to ask if she could phone me I feared that she was going to give me news that I didn't want to hear. And, so it was. I was devastated, couldn't think straight and I felt sadness deep in my heart. Even though you have left this earthly place Abi, you will always be with us, because... There's love within our family tree and happiness abounds it's roots are deeply planted in rich and fertile ground. We enjoy the rays of sunlight and endure the winds and rain and when a leaf falls from our tree together we share the pain. God gave us earthly families but never did intend that bonds of love built on earth upon our death would end. For when our life is over and from earth our souls will flee one by one, leaf by leaf they will join our family tree. When I look to the night sky....I just know that your star will be the biggest and brightest in all of the galaxy. Thank you for your friendship Love always Annie (and family)

Abi, I wish we could have spent more time together to get to know each other more. I know we caught up in Muscat when we lived there and also when you both came over to Nz a few years ago and then at Amar's wedding in Copenhagen around 5 years ago now. The world will be a colder place with you not here. Vaya con dios my friend.

Fly high dear friend , we will miss you !! I see you in the smoke when the time comes !! Much love .Maria ❤️

It's such a long time ago i cant quite remember where we first met, but the memories will never fade. From working with you at AUH mortorsports to your endless support during the desert challenge, blasting through the dunes and not to mention the parties. So many happy times and your were the life and soul of everywhere you went. RIP luv you are very much missed xxx

A tribute to you, Abi, a truly special person and friend. It is still hard to believe you are not here - though I can see you, somewhere up there, with a glass of bubbles smiling down at us. This world was not big enough for you, being the spark of life that you are! Thank you for all the memories and the laughs. Until we meet again, I will miss you - rest peacefully.

Abiiiiii we miss you terribly. Our reunions will never be the same again. I hope we will meet again on day. I can just hear you with your sarcasm and high pitched voice and laugh…Big Big hugs my friend., love you. RIP Abi

Gone but not forgotten...never really got to know you my cousin from a cousin...family are so dear and you will be sadly missed Many memories of family get-togethers over the years though. Love thoughts and prayers for the Shephard family... Lyn Aaron and Simon...xoxoxo

Standard Abi out, leaving us all in your fabulous beauty prime, never to be old and saggy with us. I can still see you downtown, wearing heels in an emerald green dress in a dero AF sushi bar waiting for us to pick you up. I'm so sad I can't hug you again sis but also so fortunate to know you. I hope you are clotheslining stupid people wearing cones on their heads, in Abi heaven, you hilarious woman x

Darling girl, the light from your friendship will forever warm my heart. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but knowing you was such joy.
