We are both shocked and saddened by this news. We spent a lot of time together with Amber when she worked with Cancer Society a few years ago now. She was an awesome support person to us on the cancer journey, as well as to all our support group here in Foxton. We felt privileged to have attended Amber & Shane’s wedding. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Shane at this sad and huge loss. God bless you.

The brightest light in the room now a real star, how am I going to live without your shine Pats? I fell in love with you the second I laid eyes on you & I'm grateful for every moment I had with you in my life. To Shane, my Love, I want to thank you for loving my girl & giving up so much to help prepare her for her homecoming, you beautiful selfless man. I'll come see you when I come home but I just can't put into words how heartbroken I am for you right now. They say time heals all wounds but Amber was such a dominant character in my life I don't think I'll heal from this loss. She was my shadow growing up and now she's not here, I realise I'm the shadow because she was my sunshine. Im so glad I named The Amber Diamond star after her because at least I can still see her by just looking up. I love you so much Pumba. Thank you for choosing me to be your sidekick. Forever double trouble aye girl? Mwah xox

i love you amber and can feel your shine brighter than the sun . blessings to all the whanau

To Shane and family my condolences for your loss of lovely Amber. Only supported her for a short time but she was a pleasure to support . I will miss her.
