My beautiful friend. I was so pleased to have shared moments of laughs, and total joy with you. Those many rides to and from Massey talking of past, and of future dreams. We were like two Maori girls seeking adventures. You will always be in my heart.

Jodene, thank you for your friendship, your smiling face and for sharing many stories over the years. You were only the second hairdresser to ever wave your magic wand over Nathans hair for the past 21 years, he looked forward to making his appointments and coming over from Wanganui just to have his hair cut by you, have a catch up and occasionally travelling on to see us after. I always looked over to your house when heading south to see if you were home. Its funny what little habits we get to remember for a long time after. Rest easy now my friend, we wont forget your awesome sense of humour and infectious laugh. Love ya ❤
