Dearest Rowan, I cant describe how deeply saddened I am to hear of your passing I will always cherish the fun times that we've had together, from bonding over music to playing spotlight with all our little ones That cheeky grin and twinkle in your eye after a perfectly timed joke will always be the first thing that comes to mind whenever I think of you I hope you are at peace beautiful lots of love Tracey xx

Dear Arrowan, I could not believe it when i heard of your passing - I wish you knew how much we thought of you - you were you were such a little dynamo at work, always there to help others in the office, coming up with new ideas, fun promo videos with Matt and Jo :) You were a great friend to Matt who will miss you and your adventures Rest now in Peace beautiful Lady Sheree xx

I’ll never forget the first time I met you Arrowan, at Julia’s hens night, we had such a great time and your mischievous and fun nature fit right in with us Barnes girls. You became a part of our whanau, always there at our parties to celebrate and let your hair down alongside us. So many photos of you with that cheeky little tounge poking out lol. You had a very giving and supportive side and boy were you a hard worker, even donning the family cleaning bizzo tshirt for a while there. I’m so grateful for the floods, because you and Julia and I got to have a lovely girls night in my little sacred studio, you bought the wine and chocolate and did a little fashion show for us, as you’d been out shopping for your new look. We got to just chat and have a good old fashioned sleep over. You were so full of energy and I thought at the time hope. Go well my friend over the rainbow and into the infinite. Om Shanti shanti shanti

Dear Arrowan I was stunned and heartbroken when Matt told me of your passing. You were a little dynamo, who was there for me in my time of need and I will never forget this. You were small of stature, but big of heart. Rest in eternal peace my friend. We will miss you xxx

Dearest Arrowan, words can not express how devastated I was to learn about your passing. When you were with us and close to us and working with us we had so much fun and accomplished so much together as a Team. From here we built a friendship and it was very special between our girls as well and I loved spending time with you. It was hard when you moved away from Warkworth and I had hoped and tried to keep our friendship going. I guess you felt you needed to move on and start a fresh. I will always be sad about your final decision as the world was a truely a better place with you in it. You and your fun loving personality and cheeky grin and weird fun loving sense of humour. Thanks for being part of my world and all the fun we shared. You will be dearly missed by your family and friends ArrowAn, fly away and be at peace now. Love Jodene xx

I don't think I'll ever understand why it had to end this way, I know there are a million questions I'll never get the answer to. However I choose to not dwell on your final days and instead remember the countless good times, because I would rather have those memories with this ending, then to not have the memories at all. I owe you more than you could ever know. In our time as friends, I have seen more of NZ then all the prior years combined, done things I wouldn't normally have the courage to try and picked up countless good/healthy habits. You made me a better person willing to try new things and I will never forget all of the life lessons I learned by your side. I'll always remember your kind heart, like all the help you gave our family when my mum was diagnosed with cancer. Helping around the house, buying those thermal socks for her hospital stay and organising our Walking Stars walk to raise money for cancer society. I'll honour your memory by not only continuing to follow the lessons you taught me but by also helping others in need, the same way you always did. I don't know where we go when we die, but maybe I'll see you again someday, somewhere. And if I do, don't worry, I'll make sure to give you back your hiking stick and fitbit. But for now I'll keep them close to heart, the same place you'll always be. You were awesome and always will be.

This world will be lonely without you sister. I will hold dear the memories we have together and I’m just so so sad we will not make anymore. I will miss your fun, kooky, outgoing and naughty nature, sharing laughs, a dance, movies and music.. none of which we had done enough of lately. I will make sure Jesse and Zoey grow up knowing who Aunty Row Row was and will make sure Mik and J know how much you loved them and that my door is always open. xoxo
