ALANNAH MAIRI HELLEWELL

Such sad news. You were my best friend at primary school in Wyndham. I loved having sleepovers with you and your mum. She was a lovely lady and you inherited her kindness. I haven’t seen you for for over 50 years but loved being in touch with you again on fb. Your beautiful face and smile will always be remembered. My condolences and love to Doug and your family. See you in heaven. R. I. P. Alannah Mairi

Dearest Lana, they say ‘Friends are the family we choose for ourselves’ and that’s so true with you. Thank you for always showing us unconditional love, open arms and a listening ear. We will forever think of you when we end a sentence in ‘but’ and remember your huge heart and smile with the fondest of memories. Rest in Peace beautiful lady love from the Young River kids xoxo

To my beautiful Grand aunty. Will always remember your bigger than life laugh and smile . I wish you all the best on your next journey. We will see you on the other side. Lots of aroha from Harlan, Dale and me Xox

Dear Aunty Lan, thank you for being a bright light in my life, so full of joy and playfulness. I miss your spirit although I know you are not gone but just there in heaven. I think of you with all your lovely pets and surrounded by love. I'll sing some Maori songs for you today Aunty because I know how much you loved to sing them with me - in the car. Big hugs to you Aunty Lan, bye for now and I look forward to seeing you again, to sing some more... aroha nui, Kerrylee xxx

To my beautiful aunty Lan, I can't believe you are gone, I have such strong and fond memories of growing up in Wyndham and your house being my second home, you have been a steady loving constant throughout my life, the world is a smaller place without you. I will miss you, with our Aroha, Brett, Karina and the girls xox

Kia hera te marin, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana Kia tere karohirohi i mua i tou huarahi May calm be spread around you May the sea glisten like greenstone and the shimmer of summer dance across your path In our hearts forever Alannah Wereta Whanau ❤️

I'm so happy to have known you, and so sad because I won't see your lovely smiling face again...I'll finish the wee quilt I was planning to send you, and give it to your daughter. Fly high, dear Allanah...

Aunty Lan never in a million years would I have ever thought this would happen….your passing….us looking after Robyn and Graeme…..it’s like you slipped through not wanting to make a fuss, that you might be unnoticed even….not so Aunty not so……our earliest memory is when I was 3 days old and you picked me up out of my incubator at Wyndham Maternity Home and took me for my first outing to the mail box and back….it was love ❤️ at first sight for us both. You often told me that it was that first outing that helped shape my gypsy nature haaaaa xx Aunty Lan my rock when I needed a safe place, my warmth when all I felt was judgement, my wisdom when I couldn’t see the way. My strength when my sons needed to feel that constant that beauty and the love you radiated and gave to us x You will always be my Aunty Lan and I will miss you everyday until we meet again xx Thank you for everything you have bought to our lives xxx Onie & Jed, Jackson, Connor and Caleb.

Beautiful lady taken far to soon Rest in Love Alannah♥️♥️♥️ Sending my Love to Doug, Glen, Craig, Kylie and Families xxx Memories live on 4Eva

The day doug brought you to our family is a memory I will always treasure. You gave us much love laughter and the true sense of being a family. I and my family love you and will miss you so much. Rest in peace our beautiful special sister in law.

We will miss u my dear friend Big Hugs to everyone xx

To my one and only Aunty and Great Aunty ❤ to Lee, Georgette, Tyler and Taadjiduk. I've known you all my life. One of my earliest memories was when you gave me a box of jewellery to share with my Sisters, which I didn't, before you headed-off on the back of a motorbike. I was 7 and you were 17. Wow! I thought to myself, you were awsome with your hairdo and boots cruising off down Ferry Street and you continued to be awsome all through my life. Your effervescent smile, twinkling eyes, a laugh to match and the warmest of hearts. ❤ Many many wonderful memories growing up and older with you around. I loved you with all my heart and still do. Youre not far away, none of us were ready for your departure but I will see you on the other side Aunty Lan one day. With much love Kim and Family, Lee, Georgette, Tyler, Taadjiduk, Charlie and Harlan. Rest in peace
