Liandra was my lifeline to kiwi kids. I had only just arrived in NZ and Liandra had all the patience and humor for the American girls questions. Liandra came with me to Paris in 2006, my first trip with students. Her support, humor and love was everything. I have only just found out about her passing and am sorry I missed the memorial. My heart is with Jaleah, Buck and Kieran. My love to you all. Rest in peace. -Karyn Winters

To the Allen family, we send our sincere condolences. We are sorry we couldn't attend the service today but we are glad that we could watch the recording and share in the celebration of Liandra's life. It has been our pleasure to have known Liandra as our neighbour. We remember her in healthier times for her radiant smile and her warm and friendly personality. So many people in the community describe her as having a heart of gold and we know that she will be sorely missed. Take comfort that Liandra is now free of the afflictions of this world and she has surely been received into the Kingdom of Heaven.

What a beautiful send off for a beautiful lady. My thoughts are with you all.

I thought I did this already.. ah me here we go again.. To my beautiful friend, my life is just that wee bit less full now.. I promise I will keel and eye on and an era put for Bucky and Jay and Kieran. Maybe I'll but Bucky a clothesline hahaha. You have given us the best send off you possibly could and I thank you for that. Fly high and rest easy with all those beautiful people gone before you. Thank you for being n my life and being my friend. Luv always Mitch. 🙏🙏💗💗

Great lady - enjoyed our time GirlGuiding. Always had great idea's. Thanks you and will be missed by many. Hugs and cuddles to all.

Watching your service today is you in a nut she'll. What a cool way to leave your friends and Whanau. My life is now just a bit less full with you no longer here. We take for granted our expected time with whanau and treasured friends and this is a remnder that we are not here forever and sometimes don't get to say or do what we wanted in our time alotted. I am so glad I spoke to you a couple of days before you went back into hospital. I had plans of visiting again last week but you freken had other ideas it seems. I will miss you my friend, but when I think of those gone before you, you are in such good company. Fly high and rest easy.. I promise to keep and eye on and an ear out for Buck Jay and kieran 💗My love always Mitch🙏🙏

To the Allen's, Our thoughts are with you all on this day. Much love Chelsea, Christian and Piper.

Farewell our lovely friend. So many happy travel memories and culinary adventures. ❤️ Pam

To Buck, Kieran, Jaleah, Martin and Jason, our thoughts are with you. The world is a far poorer place with the passing of Liandra. She was a lovely lady. Lance Walsh and the Waitakere FC open D team

I was trying to write something profound as a send off. Unfortunately when I thought about Buck, Kieran and Jaleah and what they are feeling now, my own unresolved feelings of grief and sadness prevented any profound outcome. Applogies Liandra. Instead I thought about some of the fondest memories I have of Liandra through the eyes of a much younger me. Liandra was my big cousin, sensible, gentle and laughing with my other cousins (and there are many). Sometimes that little boy in me wishes I could go back to those times when we had no cares in the world. Just playing, laughing and having fun. To Buck, Kieran, Jaleah, Martin and Jason, our thoughts are with you. Kyle, Melissa, Tahlia and Keelan

To Liandra Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. I loved our morning chats we would have in the office at school and I honestly really looked forward to being at school because of them. You were always there for me. Any time I needed anything whether it be a hug, some advise or just for a chat. I will always remember the time we had during Europe and the fun we had adventuring the mountains on the Hillary outdoors trip. Thank you for everything because I don’t think I could have made it though the last couple of years at school without you. I’m sorry I can’t be at your funeral. I am thinking about you and won’t forget. Love kirsty ❤️

Wish we could be there tomorrow to share in celebrating Liarndras life. What a beautiful lady! We have many wonderful memories of our families growing up together in our airforce days. Rest in peace dear friend and to Buck and family, big hugs, prayers and love to you all. ❤️ 🙏

Dearest Liandra & family, I'm sorry I can't be with you all today to celebrate Liandra's well lived life. She was taken far too early 💔 However, I know she lived a life full of contribution, hard work & fun & was a great Mum & wife. Many things to be very proud of and a great legacy to leave. To dear Liandra, You are free from this body now, free to be embraced on the other side by your Mum & many other beautiful souls. 🌹 Without any more pain and suffering. I pray your family will find a tiny bit of comfort in this as they grieve the loss of having you near. My heart is with you all today as I can't be there. 💞 Fly free now in your new form. 😇 Love cousin Nikki x
