Tania was an awesome person to know. She was always looking out for her friends and family and had a kind and loving spirit that shone out. Tania always went out of her way to help people out and make sure that they were happy and looked after.

More people like Tania would make the world a better place.

Hi aunty Tania,

Miss you heaps.

I was shocked when I found out that you were in hospital and that you weren't very well. It was hard for me to sit in your hospital room and look at you just lying there. I am so glad I got 2 talk to you and I am glad that my last words to you were I LOVE YOU but I wish I could have said it face to face and not through the phone but I was so glad that i was able to talk to you!

I am glad I knew who you were, you were a lovely person and you will be in my heart forever!

Give Koro Gary my love

I love you with all my heart aunty!

Dear Tania,

We miss you lots, and what saddens me the most is that I missed out on spending time over the last couple of years with one of the most sweet loving and caring people that I have ever met.

I guess the saying is true "life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans."

That day when I ran into you at the shop and I said to you that I think we should get the family's together for a bit of a reunion I didn't expect you to make it all about you! he he. Funny how things work out, I just hope that when my time comes that I have the grace and dignity to handle it the way you did and the companionship of the kind that I saw in those few days.
"Well I guess we're here for a good time not a long time so I'll see you soon cuz, just hopefully not top soon."

Tell everyone I said Hi.

Tarn, We spent our usual Friday night at Mum's, just having dinner and talking about you and thinking of you. It has been a week since you left us to be in a more peaceful place with our family and friends that have gone before us. We miss you sooooo much. I had a call today from Kylie who's kids you used to babysit, she only just found out the news. Her and Karen were devasted, the kids were too, they all love you and will miss you dearly too my sister. They are going to take the kids down to Petone Beach for you on the next sunny day, as the kids remember that you used to take them there when you baby-sat them, that it was your special place that you shared with them. Love you lots my sister, I will make sure that all of the Nieces and Nephews remember how much of an angel and blessing you were to our family. To the whanau and friends that have shared in our loss, thank you for allowing us to be a support to you and for your support also. Tarn, I just want to share some of your verses that you always read with your friends and whanau, this is the one that you had pinned to the cork board in the hallway. " A letter from a friend" I am writing this to say how much I care for you and to say how much I want you to know me better. When you awoke this morning I exploded a brilliant sunrise through your window hoping to get your attention, but you rushed off without even noticing. Later I noticed you were walking with some friends so I bathed you in a warm sunshine and perfumed the air with nature's sweet scent and still you didn't notice me. As you passed by I shouted to you in a thunderstorn and painted a beautiful rainbow in the sky and you didn't even look. In the evening I spilled moonlight onto you face and sent a cool breeze to rest you. As you slept I watched over you and shared your thoughts but you were unaware that I was so near. I have chosen you and hope you will talk to me soon. Until then I will remain near. I am your friend and love you so much. Your Friend Jesus. PS: A thank you letter came for you on the day that you passed away for the Dove Ministry, sending blessings to you and thanking you for publicly and openly accepting Jesus as your lord and saviour and your healer at the meeting that was held in the Lower Hutt Town Hall a few weeks ago. Your healing my sister was peace from that pain that you did suffer.... Love you always. Shauntel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Carolyn, Danny, Shauntel & Monique,

I am very sorry for your great loss. I was shocked and saddened by this news. To Tania and your family I remember you all from the good old days in Wainui & Petone. We lost contact when I move to Australia but I often thought about you all. Tania you were such a lovely natured person and that I will never forget.

Bless you Tania
Love Terina Hooper

Thinking of her family in their loss.

Tania was a delightful lady

Dear Preston family,

We are all so sorry to hear that Tania had passed away, it came as such a shock to us all.

Dan, Carolyn and whanau, our sympathy is with you all at this time.
Shauntel and Monica, chin up, Tan's done you both proud in whatever she did.

The memories of when you stayed in Hamstead street were cool, but that's all I remember 'til you moved to Petone.

Our condolences to the whanau and to a friend. Tania - GOD BLESS!

From the Selkirk family

Danny, Carolyn and Whanau

My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
I know that losing a loved one is so hard and painful to deal with,
take heart that she is now in a better place free of pain.
Her memory will give you all strength to move forward and laugh again.
Don'[t cry for what you no longer have, but smile for all that you have had.

Haere koe Tania
kei whaka kotahi
te wairua nga tipuna
kia-ora mai koe
ki maunga rongo whakata
kaore koe wareware matou
see you when i get there

My love, thoughts an prayers are with you all
