It is with great sadness that we report that Desirable (Luana) passed away last night, Wednesday 3 June, 2009. The severe injuries she sustained from Monday’s tragic auto accident were just too much.Desirable is the loving daughter of Karaoke and Eveready, and the loving sister of Delicious. Desirable was a beautiful, cheerful young woman very dear to the members of the Apia Hash House Harriers. Our hearts are so heavy. We will all sorely miss her.

ReplyDeleteThe tide recedes,
but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand,
The sun goes down,
but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land,
The music stops,
and yet it echoes on
sweet refrains ...
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
GM and family, I am so sorry to hear this news. My condolences.

ReplyDeleteThe sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

Sending our love, thoughts, and prayers to Desirable's (Luana's) wonderful family. A very bright star has left us, leaving so much sadness. Today, we remember Desirable's bright smile, bubbly personality, and infectious enthusiasm. When she was around, frowns quickly turned to smiles (she got me twice last week!). Still can't believe she's gone. She had such a kind and loving heart that we will not forget.
ReplyDeleteThank you Luana for all the love and kindness you have shown us. God Bless,

I was called to give blood. I did not know Luana personally but it was soon apparent that she had touched many hearts during her journey in this life. My deepest sympathy to the family for the loss of such a precious, young, vibrant and well educated lady who was an asset to the world and a shining example of what it means to be Samoan.
ReplyDeleteTo Luanas loving family,
ReplyDeleteOur sincere condolences go out to all of you at this hard time which came too early for all of us!
I used to go to school with Luana and always thought how beautiful she was and then I got to know her, and I am so glad I did, she always greeted me with a bubbly smile and being around her was always great fun and lots of laughs.
Even though I live in Germany now she always had the time to keep in contact with me, which I will never forget but definetly miss!!
Luana, we wish you luck and happiness on your new journey until we meet again!
Love You Long Time xoxox

Deepest Sympathy and Condolences to Tashia and the Cobcroft Family for your sudden loss. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
ReplyDeleteLuana, I'll always remember that smile of yours and the few conversations and laughs weve shared. It's been a pleasure knowing you, however unfortunate that you have passed on so suddenly and unexpectedly. I know you are in a better place and no longer suffering.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the Cobcroft family during this difficult time as you mourn the loss of your granddaughter, daughter, niece, sister, and aunty.
Lastly, dear Luana, the memories each and everyone of us have of you are instilled in our hearts, forever. Manuia lou malaga. Rest in Peace

I’ve been lost for words,
ReplyDeleteSince the day I heard,
That you’re departing, a short lived but, eventful life
Inevitably, my heart felt as if it were drowning as tears filled my eyes
Undecided as to agree on whether to be happy that you’re in peace
Or whether to be sad that you had to leave
It’s unbelievable and it breaks my heart to say
We can’t be selfish with you any longer and with that said,
You’ll never be too far away...
You are engraved on our hearts and forever in our Memories *LUANA*
And you are in a better place now with our Heavenly Father...
MAY GOD’s WARMTH HEAL AND STRENGTHEN LUANA’S FAMILY DURING THIS TIME OF HARDSHIP
CHILDHOOD:
I still remember her as a beautiful little girl with palagi eyes and golden curls but despite footprints we lost along the way growing up, It feels like it was only yesterday..
I'm priviledged to have had a part in her life.

what a shocking loss .. so tragic .. so unexpected .. hard to believe that your beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes will not be seen anymore.. gosh you probably labored on my wedding cake. I don't know you personally but thank you for all the work you and your family put into making my wonderful cake.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're gone Luana. Rest in Peace ...faamanuia ma faamafanafana le Atua i si ou aiga loto nuti momoia ma le faanoanoa. Your poor mum and your siblings and everyone in your aiga. I can't imagine the pain they are enduring...May God bless and warm your hearts.
At times of total darkness there will eventually be light
ReplyDeleteIn moments of great sadness will arrive seconds of joy
When engulfed in depths of sorrow only then will cometh humor
Whilst embraced by the feeling of loss there will arrive a reason to smile, if only a moment.
And when all else seems lost and helpless there will offered the opened arms, and the helping hand, of love and support
Always in hours of greatest need there will inevitably come respite
When the doors are thrown open to God, and all who love and care for the memory of the lovely Luana, make no mistake these moments will come.
It is in these moments which Desirable will be truly remembered, and it is clearly reflected in the light, the joy, the humor and all the many reasons to laugh and smile that she brought to the lives of others.

I couldn't believe the news about the passing of Desirable. I prayed that she would pull through when i heard of the accident, but God had different plans. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sadness. It is such a tragedy to lose a loved one at such a young age. Luana had so much to live for and it is so sad that her life was cut short so suddenly. I know that there are no words to ease the pain of losing Luana but i hope you know that everyone is praying for all of you and Luana in this time of grief.

I miss you so much Lulu, I can't even begin to imagine the pain your family is going through, given that I'm finding it so hard to deal with the pain I am feeling at having lost such a beautiful person in my life...
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I wanted to say but couldn't find the strength and so I'll take this opportunity to share some of my favourite memories of you....
Like when we finally arrived in Wellington after weeks of anticipation, to find that we couldn't get tickets to the first day of the 7's, but didn't let it stop us crashing someone else's party!
Doing the siva samoa to techno music in the clubs... We were so proud to be Samoan... even though they lost!
How you are the NZ mall queen and can tell me exactly where to park for the shop I need to go to!
When we're getting ready to go out on the town, I ask you for a dress to wear and you bring at least 3 or 4 for me to choose from!
"Get Low" was your song.... and we always had a competition to see who could get the lowest!
When you said you were going to Rarotonga and I said "you can't leave, who will be my partner in crime?" you replied "I don't want to be a criminal anymore!"
The night we went to watch the NZ breakers and yelled "Go Manu Samoa" on Maori TV's live broadcast!
That same night we almost got Jay and Tasi kicked out of their inner city apartment because we were so loud.. "I ain't even bovvered!"
.....and how all the boys were mesmerised by your beautiful eyes.... chellaz!
There are so many memories of you Lulu... so many good times... and so many things that will always remind me of you...
I know you're watching over us and you can see that we hold a special place in our hearts for you...
Love you long toime!
Rest in Peace darling

Though I never really had time to personally meet you Luana, but word of your sudden passing really struck me deeply enough. I know you from our UPY level at NUS. You were such a beautiful and bright young lady. Just like everyone else here that've commented about you, I too can still remember two words to describe you whenever I hear about your name...*your beauty and smile* I may not have been there to witness what you went thru but I'm more than willing to share your family's pain and grief... And to Luana's family, I know even words cannot describe how painful it is to say goodbye to someone so dear to your hearts but may the spirit of the Lord be with you all as we all mourn the passing of a daughter,sister and friend...Though she may have left us physically but I'm sure she'll always be there in our hearts...ALWAYS and Forever... Rest in peace Miss Luana Cobcroft...you'll be missed dearly...
