      The saddest news for me to hear beautiful, vivacious, loving, funny, talented Kylie has gone. We shared so many stories in the 8 years I sat with you while you did my nails. I met your beautiful family and watched the love you all shared through many trials. I can't imagine how you are all feeling right now. I would have loved to say goodbye hun but it was not to be. You will live on in the lives of your family and will never be forgotten. No speeding in heaven Kylie. Viv

  • Update from Kylie: Latest treatment and outcome

      28 February 2022

    The recent Palmerston North stay for radiation has been completed and has taken a further toll on my health. I have been at home resting and enjoying time with my family. An oncologist appointment last week determined that another round of chemo (a different type) could be an option, however my body and immune system would not allow this.

    There's no other treatment options for me and I'll be spending what time I do have left, however long that may be with the ones that matter the most, my family and friends.

    Thanking everyone for their generous donations and kind messages, we are, as a family extremely grateful and we thank each and every one of you. We will remember this x
