Sudden Loss of Violet Panapa, leaving behind her 7 tamariki, best day of our lives turned to the worst day of our lives

Melville, Hamilton

Violet was a beautiful character, loving, kind, warm hearted and always gave to whoever was in need of,

As her best friend and now sister, she passed away the night of our wedding (married her brother), this was Violets wish, she got us together, visited everyday, every morning she would message morning sis and talk throughout the day when we weren't together,

We went from the best day of my darling and I lives to the worst day, we got a call Sunday morning to say she wouldn't wake up, we raced over, she had already passed between midnight and 1.55am, Violet was very well taken care of by our nominated funeral home, spent 3 days with us then cremated and brought home to be with her children,

Her children are 13yr old twins (boy & girl), 9, 8, 7 and 6yr old twins (boy & girl), she also cared for our youngest sister full time being (16yrs old), we have since taken them on bringing our total to 14 children full time at home,

Children have had to start a fresh from new beds, drawers, toiletries and glasses, alot of her old belongings were not salvagable, due to being broken, Violet had heavy shoulders, her cause of death was due to Acute Cardaic Respiratory

Violets sister & best friend had just married her Brother the day before as per Violets wishs she'd planned the whole thing, right from my darling having a 2mth crush, Violet and my darling Darren knew he wanted to get married to me from the time he met me

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
