Unfortunately I did not know Philippa well, but all the stories I heard about her told me she was a wonderful girl, and so loved by her family and friends. She was obviously an extraordinary person.
I am sorry I was not in NZ to attend her funeral.
Our deep sympathy to all the family and our love

Brian and Judy. We were so sorry to hear about Phillipa but she is now at rest. I remember meeting her in USA with Morton. She has been so brave. Love from your cousin Joan and Merv in Australia.

My deepest condolences to Philippa's family. Every funny she ever told me included one of you. She loved you so much.

Philippa was brave and defiant and funny as hell. I am proud to say she was my friend and I can't believe I won't hear her laugh again. You are missed, Phil, and you are loved.

Our hearts go to Phillipa's family at this time, such sadness losing someone with such a beautiful personality whose kindness, positivity and support I'll miss. We shared some great girly nights over dinner with Angela and Hunter and Phillipa and I saw some great movies, shared some rather indulgent cakes at coffee often in Mission Bay. Her infectious positivity lifted me when facing life's challenges despite she always had hers, always with an empathetic outlook, I'll miss that and her wise outlook on life. As my 6.5 yr said, Phillipa had really cool red hair mum:) they thought she was pretty cool! Memories retained in my heart of special moments shared, may her memory live on in her family so Hunter always remembers 'Aunty Phil' - his adored and cherished Aunty, a loving sister and daughter. I hope to offer the same support to Angela at such a difficult time. With much love may Phillipa be now at peace cared by angels, with all our love, Sarah, Nate & Jasper
