On behalf of the Blenheim Pony Club, we offer our sincere condolences to Moana's family and friends as well as the Awatere community. Moana will leave a massive hole in the horsey community within the Marlborough region and beyond. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by Moana's sudden passing.

We are devastated to hear this news. Moana- you were the best mum, and a great friend. 
I've never played with such an awesome goal shooter! I will never forget the laughs we had every Saturday 
after the game. Your warmth, your smile and your huge loving heart is the legacy you leave. 
Thinking of all the family as you farewell this lovely woman. 
May God surround you all with his loving presence. Steve and Rosemary

So sorry to have missed the Tangi. Moana will be sadly missed. Always a good person to talk to and so proud of all 
her kids and her moko. Will miss bumping into her from time to time. Loved that Moana got to ride Marfells Beach 
for recreation. She always looked so happy after a good ride. 
Thinking of all her whanau and know she will leave a great gap in your lives. 
Arohanui to you all.

To Michael, Meriana, Tiri, Wiremu and Hane, what a shock to read about Moana. I am so sad for you all and for me. Moana was always the bright light in a room, so full of fun and positivity. She was a joyful person, one I always 
looked forward to seeing when I drove up to the Ward Hall for delivery of Mobile Kindergarten. 
My heart goes out to you in this sad time. 
Much love Helen.
