鈥淸And] the fun we had and the trouble we got into! I thought about you often Jayde, you were one person that truly knew me,鈥 she wrote.
A video posted online said there will be a chance for friends to gather at the Salvation Army premises in Hamilton tomorrow to share memories of Jayde, before a private service.
Gilbert鈥檚 mother has started a Give a Little page to help support Gilbert鈥檚 two children.
鈥淢y daughter Jayde was tragically takin out by a car last Thursday here in Hamilton, New Zealand. It is been deemed as a homicide and to my knowledge, no body has been charged yet,鈥 she said.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a extremely devastating time as you could maybe imagine so I was hoping to be able to get some money to go towards some memorial keepsakes of her and some funds to be able to try go take them away for a day or two to try forget about this event that killed there mother.鈥
