Mandy ROBERTS Obituary

Mandy, you have always held a dear place in my heart. You truly shaped so many young lives, encouraging and inspiring us all.
I will always remember your friendship and support in Christchurch.
Your talent was only surpassed by your kindness.
Miss Mandy, friend, mother, diva and dancer extraordinaire.
Thank you for sharing your gifts and your love with us all.
Dance on... x

Mandy- you were an incredibly respected, one-of-a-kind teacher, choreographer, dancer and leader. Your passion for musical theatre and dance has ensured so many young people will carry that love for life. Although we were in the peripheries of your world, being one of the many families who called you Miss Mandy, you were central in our lives for many years and I doubt you ever knew the impact you made and how much you shaped who my daughters have become. It´s all the values you taught and embodied, not just the dance but the work-ethic, self-discipline, confidence, comradeship, integrity and humour. Your star is huge and irreplaceable. Live on in Billie & Riley in the Rhythm of Life. You will not be forgotten.

Mandy, what an incredible, one of a kind human you were. Your talent was first class. You brought joy to thousands of lives. You were my secret angel in Showbiz´s 42nd St, and the angel you gave me I will now treasure forever, as you are now dancing with the angels. To Mandy´s mother Barbara, thank you also for the friendship you gave our Grandmother June Sparks (who has also passed on). May your beautiful girls and family find the strength to navigate these dark days as they come to terms of not having you around. You will be remembered and
honoured forever. Phoebe Jellicoe (Brooks) xx

Dear Mandy, always loved you, always will.
Until we meet again xo
