Rest in peace beautiful one




I can't begin to tell you how hard it is to write this post.Everyone here at the house has been left crushed by the sudden death of an unbelievably gorgeous little girl i once dubbed "My little french princess".Her name was Eida and she just stole my heart.I later found out she wasn't french but from New Caledonia and french was the spoken language.Her mother,Silvie,used to tell me "Eida when she see you she so happy".Well i can tell you just seeing her brightened my day no end.She touched the hearts of all who came into contact with her and Karina,Mum,Kallan,Shaylie and I have been left devastated by her passing.I think what made her so adorable to me was how she responded to me.It was only the other day we were playing and she wouldn't let me get up and walk away.I'd say "Darren go now" and she'd yell as loud as her soft little voice would let her "NO NO".You know earlier that day she was poking a bit of fun at me by giving everyone cuddles but when i asked for one she'd say "no".But i gotta say i just loved it when it was me who was getting the biggest cuddles by nights end. At this stage details are extremely sketchy as to what happened and how this tragedy occurred.Eida's father Hamou and 8yr old sister Manou have only recently returned home for Manou to resume school and for Hamou to go back to work.They too are just beautiful people.They will be holding a service here in her memory in the next few days such is the impact she had on everyone at the house,staff very much included.

Bye Bye little one you'll never know how much you touch my heart but i'll never forget you.I'm so grateful to have met you and your family,parents Silvie and Hamou and big sister Manou.I'm going to miss you so much.

Oh Guys,
I only saw this little girl when we visited you one day and just seeing her caught my heart.I don't know what you are feeling knowing her and her family! I was just devastated when mum told me the news tonight it must be so hard for all of you at the house.Even though we don't know eida and her family we have heard so much from all of you and she too has touched our hearts.Please pass on our heartfelt thoughts to her family and we are with you too at this devastating time.We Love you all and thank god that for Kallan he has always had positive results for his treatment.
Love you always Aunty Lee

Oh Dash... I just so feel for you and her little family. What a cute little lady. We had a friends child pass last week, he was hit by his school bus and we have really felt the impact of losing such a little one. There is no doubt in my mind that a special place is reserved for them, they are so tender and innocent and that is what makes it so devastating. Hang in there and know our thoughts are with her family and all of you there also. Love you all. Kathryn.xx.

How cruel can life be to take a beautiful little girl such as Eida. I remember meeting her and she always had such a warm and large smile on her face that radiated through out the room. How sad is the world going to be without her cheerful face. Please pass on our heartfelt condolences.
