Yesterday

There is a saying that 'Death changes Everything and Time changes Nothing'. This has such significance in times of loss like this. We were so sad to hear and send our love and support to you. We love you Tegan, Jaemyn & whanau. Regardless of time, we are here. Call on us 24/7 when you need. Each moment stands still, each breath will be a reflection of the beautiful light that Rea was. You are from her, through her and hold her in your heart. Of this, I am sure. Our beautiful Tegan, may there be comfort in knowing that she helped you become the person you are and her love will continue to guide you because that's what happens. We are blessed to know her, through you and who you are.
Even if 'Death changes Everything', we can believe that from the sadness, 'Life becomes Everything'. So, continue to shine brightly Tegan. You are a star that carries your lovely Rea. In that way, she remains alive in you, your thoughts, your memories. This is true of each of us.
