Shinaynay! The most beautiful girl. I have the most wonderful memories of you. At Sue and Warrens when you were little, when Kirsty and I lived with you in Auckland and you would let me braid your hair and we would roll our eyes at Mum 😜, and then when I saw you all grown up a wee while ago. I will never forget you sweetie. Sending all my love to Mum and Dad, Cory, Dan and Grant. xxx

Sinead, you always filled our days with so much love and joy. I will never forget your infectious personality, the way your smile beamed across your face or the way you lit up the whole room. My mum was the first person to care for you and you were by far her favourite. So much so, you were her flower girl at her wedding and as always the star of the show. You looked stunning wearing my pink flower girl dress (one that I too wore when I was 5). Years later, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked into my mother in-laws house and saw you there. Then to find out she too had cared for you. I believe everything happens for a reason and you were meant to stay apart of my life. You were the always the brightest star wherever you went, now your the biggest brightest star lighting up the whole sky. Please give Mum a super big hug from me.

We would often laugh and joke about getting you drunk with a syringe full of tequila. Your mother would give us a look that told us to think again. You were so funny and kind. You and your dad were a crack up combo to be around. (He's the mastermind about the syringe of tequila) Love you heaps cuz. Xoxo sorry for ratting you out uncle :)
