    A true angel and blessing too precious for Earth 👼

    It is with so much sorrow that Ryan, myself and Addison let you all know our beautiful little girl Harper passed away very peacefully on 19th June, in Palmerston North surrounded by so much love from family.

    Our little girl was very eager to enter this world and did so arriving 14 weeks early!! She battled a lot and we had thought she had won the fight but sadly what she was up against was much bigger than anyone had imagined. Harper’s health deteriorated very quickly and her fight finally came to an end at 2.15pm today.

    We feel so lucky we got to meet Harper and spend almost 8 weeks with her. She touched a lot of people in her short time and she has made such a huge impact on our lives.

    We are deeply saddened with Harper’s passing but we are also at ease knowing she is now at peace. The memories we got to make with Harper including 3 plane rides, giving her her first bath and having loads of cuddles are memories we will cherish forever.

    Harper had a private cremation on Tuesday 22nd June and she has now come home to be with us forever.

    Harper darling, your Mummy, Daddy and Big Sister all love you very much and you will be so missed.

    Fly high our beautiful little angel 👼

    We love you ❤️

    Sadly Harper took a turn for the worst last night and had to be intubated. She was flown to Wellington Hospital where Ryan and I are with her now. She has sepsis and they think she may have meningitis again. The bug that grew was E. Coli - the same bug that caused meningitis when she was first born. She has started having seizures so they are going to do an MRI. At the moment Harper is a very sick little baby so all we can do is pray and hope she pulls through.
