To the whanau and friends of Cindy George and her three babies

To the whanau, friends and community of Cindy George and her babies Pio, Teuruaa and Telyzshaun.
My family and I send you nothing but aroha and manaaki to help you all heal from this tragic and accidental loss. I am simply a mum with my own children who never wants to experience this loss that you are all bearing.
A loving mother and three beautiful babies taken suddenly is more profoundly sad than any words I can muster.
I hope all their memories are honoured with nothing but love albeit the sadness.
I don’t know if you’ll see this message. I hope you only see kind messages. We are thinking of you with broken hearts and hope that peace finds its way to your lives.

Arohanui

  2. Dear Marama

    I am one of Cindys sisters in law. Thank you very much for your beautiful words. Yes it is surely a very trying time at the moment for our family. It is a true blessing to read the words from a beautiful person as some remarks and messages have been fairly nasty to say the least especially from people whom think they now what happened without even knowing my sister in law. Sadly this is contributed by the media releasing so many different versions of what happened. This is really hard to deal with especially when a lot of our more vulnerable younger family members are on social media and having to read some of these horrible comments written by people whom have made their own decisions about what occurred with out any real facts. Once again thank you for your kind words and God bless you and your family.

    1. I am so honoured Vivian to have had your feedback. So many of us want know that all that is needed at this time is love and kindness. Nothing but love and sadness for your entire whanau. Nga mihi aroha xxx

    2. Just some more love and support from a stranger who’s seen some of the hateful judgmental comments. Anyone can make mistakes. Our brains are designed to run on automatic for most of the things we do and it’s easy to disrupt routines if you get distracted or interrupted. Very rarely it leads to people getting hurt or killed but that doesn’t say anything about her as a person or parent. It’s just a tragic accident.

      1. Thank you and exactly. All of those whom knew her know how much she loved her children and what an awesome mother she was and always putting her children first. Its not easy being a single mother but yet she never complained.
        Once again thank you for your beautiful words .

    3. Vivian I am not sure if you will see this. There are people who would love to contribute funds to a bank account to help out with costs for the family at this time. We make no assumptions about how the community are coping financially I have just been asked by many kind people who would love to show their regard for the family at this time. If this is an option all we would need is a bank account and we can invite people to make a deposit. Feel free to email a bank account number to me at maramad@xtra.co.nz or you can leave it here in a comment also.
