I am still in shock and lost for words. Dee was my partner in crime for the last couple of years we worked together. We worked hard and played hard. She was full of energy, fun, laughter and love. I am going to miss her so much, but so grateful for the memories we share. My heart is heavy and I am sending my love and support to Nicole and Thomas, her beautiful children and to her family who I know will be lost without her. Rest in peace and rise in glory

My first visit to New Zealand when I visited Dee in Kaipoi. She loved living so close to the beach and was so excited to show it to us. We had a lovely day together with the kids playing on the beach. Lots of laughs, hugs and reminiscing about our work memories together. I am so grateful that I got to New Zealand for a second time a few years later and caught up with Dee again plus saw her when she came to the UK after that too. We were always in touch on watsapp. I will listen to her voice on my voice notes when I feel strong enough, which at the moment is too hard😭 Wishing her beloved children, family and friends all Gods strength during this heartbreaking time. I know she is irreplaceable 💔
