To my precious daughter Today was the first day I could bring myself to watch this sad tribute to you. I was saddened by it to my core but I was also so proud to hear the guests and your friends talk about how you made positive impression and impact on them and thier lives. You make me so proud, you are a strong, caring person who cared deeply. I will always love ❤️ you till my last breath and then we will be together angian Love you forever, be at peace my gorgeous soul. You are missed by us all Love Papa

I only just discovered your passing, and it’s been a while since, but I thought I’d share what little I knew about you. I didn’t know you that well as a person, only as a table mate and assignment coworker, but I did know the light you would warmly spread across our arts and design classes, I did know that it was such a comforting and beautiful thing and you had a perfectly soft soul to match. you had so much warmth and compassion to give to everyone; I have no doubt that the Lord is embracing you in his arms now and that heaven is rejoicing you joining their ranks, but this world will be a little bit colder knowing that such a beautiful, gentle soul is no longer with us. I know that you left your mark in your friends’ hearts as you have left one in mine, and I know that your love will forever leave our little corner of the world changed. sending you, your family, your friends and loved ones all my love and may you rest knowing you loved.

Our Sweet Gem The barista at our restaurant told me she dreamt of you last night I took her word for it of course, believing in that sort of stuff She asked how you were You said you were doing better now I told her that I see you too sometimes Not only in the restaurant but in songs In the voices of our coworker’s In the faces of strangers walking by I see you in the birds that surround my house And I hear the same pain of your parent’s hearts breaking the day they spoke so proudly of you I wish you knew how much we all need you here We’ve left you our tears, our letters, our prayers and sorrow Even a tree that's to be planted in your name She still remembers your coffee order too, our barista (I doubt she’ll ever forget) I know she hides the misery she feels in regards to your disappearance, I think she holds a lot Our beautiful girl, I see you everywhere whether it be for real or for not I’ll never take your presence for granted again.

To my angel Lexi I love you I miss you and I wish that you were here with me. You were one of the best friends I could have asked for and I am heartbroken that you are gone. Thank you for everything, thank you for your beautiful smile and amazing presence. I love you Lexi and I miss you more everyday -chloe

Dear Lexi I don't know where to start, I am in shock still, it doesn't feel real. Lexi you were a great friend and a fantastic manger and role model. Lexi there are so many memories of us that just keep going through my head and all I can hear is that beautiful laugh and pretty smile that could've always lit up a room as soon as you enter it. Lexi you had the kindest heart and I wanna thank you for always guiding me on how to do things when we worked together, and most importantly for being my friend. I hope that you are at peace sweet girl... We might have not known each other for a long time but in the short time that I had known you, you have become like my south african sister..My heart goes out to your family during this tough time.Thank you for everything angel, your light will always shine bright in our hearts, will never forget the memories Rest in peace beautiful girl Jess

Dear Lexi Wow what an amazing and beautiful person you were and will live on to be! You have truly made an impact on so many lives. It was truly awe inspiring to hear all the beautiful words and tributes spoken by so many of your close friends. We all love you so much and I know that Ouma most of all! You will be sorely missed So much love

To the sweetest angel, may your beautiful soul rest in paradise. We will miss your bubbly and enthusiastic personality.

Thank you for showing me what it meant to be human. I will never forget the numerous times you were effortlessly able to make my face and stomach ache with laughter. Although you never will be replaceable, I hope I get the opportunity to meet someone just like you again as I have never met a person who understood me so well as you were able to. There will never be a combination of words in any language that I could string together in a sentence that would express how much I continue to love you, nor any numbers that could measure my love for you. I promise to always carry you with me, love. I hope it's finally pain free. Forever yours, Arlo <3

Dear Lexi I will miss you so much.. You had the most amazing heart and joy.. You always found laughter in so many things... It was a privilege to have being part of your journey... Untill we meet again my angel..... I will see u soon..

Lexi You are a little warrior! You entered this world with a fighting spirit, a teeny tiny prem baby with a purpose to touch so many lives with your contagious humour and belly laughs! You were always the caring, motherly figure with Brooks, Ty and Claire making sure they don't get up to crazy shenanigans! Your rhythmic gymnastics you did with so much enthusiasm and grace it was a pleasure to watch, like music to the soul! You were a blessing to everyone who you came into contact with and your memory will last forever! Your absence leaves an ache but we know that you are flying high! We love and miss you Lexi Gone but never forgotten! Love always Linda xx

In Loving Memory of Lexi A Guiding Light in Our Hearts In the tender bloom of eighteen years, A spirit radiant banished our fears. Lexi, dear daughter, your light did shine, In the tapestry of our lives, forever entwined. A melody of music was your soul's delight, From recorded tunes to the stage's spotlight. Live performances, a symphony of grace, You revelled in each note, each embrace. Musicals enchanted, stories told through song, In your presence, a world of wonder belonged. Actress extraordinaire, your talent took flight, On the stage of life, you shone so bright. Dreamcatchers, candles, and myths untold, Symbols of your spirit, a story to unfold. Advocate for justice, a heart that cared, You saw the world's pain and always dared. Plastic's grip on Earth, you sought to sever, A warrior for change, your purpose so clever. A voice for the voiceless, you stood so tall, For the weak and oppressed, you gave your all. Your laughter, a symphony, your smile, a sunbeam, In memories cherished, you forever gleam. Through challenges faced and hurdles embraced, You taught us resilience, love interlaced. In your absence, a void, a world less bright, Yet, in our hearts, you continue to ignite. Guiding us gently, though you've taken flight, Lexi, dear daughter, you remain our guiding light. Proudly, I watched you grow and thrive, Through every triumph and the struggles you'd survive. You taught me love unconditionally true, A lesson that forever, I'll hold onto. As we gather to remember, to honour, and mourn, In our souls, your legacy is forever sworn. Lexi, your spirit dances on the wind, In our stories, our hearts, your presence is pinned. Rest now, sweet Lexi, in serenity's embrace, Your memory a beacon, a guiding grace. For though you're gone from mortal sight, In our love, you'll forever take flight. Love you Lexi - fly high my Angel

To our “Little Gem” God looked around his garden, and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your beautiful face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb,, so he closed your beautiful eyelids, and whispered , Peace Be Thine. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Alexia, Your giving generous nature and infectious smile had a profound impact on all who worked with you. You are very much missed and you will stay in everyone’s hearts and you will always be “our little gem”.

Alexia You brought so much joy to all those around you. A smile that was infectious that everyone around you couldn’t help but catch your happy vibe. Your sense of humour was one of a kind but you could be sure that no matter what you’d get a laugh out of whomever it was you were trying to cheer up. Keep smiling beautiful because when you smiled we all smiled with you xx

You truly embodied kindness, humour, and relatability in a remarkable way. Your impact was profound, as you extended a helping hand to me and countless others. With a heart of generosity, you had an uncanny ability to bring smiles and laughter to everyone's faces.
