Libby, our beautiful,gorgeous Libby. You were the shiniest star on this earth, and now, you are the shiniest star in the sky. You made me feel so accepted, and you taught me that you don't have to fit in with the crowd, do what you want, and if people don't accept you the way you are, they can just be forgotten! We had such fun together. Remember when I went to your house to get ready for the social?! That was so fun! And you played a song on guitar for me by Green Day! AWESOME!! And when you came to my birthday party, and we hired singstar for playstation and you always won, and took out the highest score with that amazing singing voice of yours! Always so bubbly and bright, you are our shining star, our guiding light. Thank you so much Libby Rose, for everything.You will always be loved & missed. But we all know, that in some form, one way or another, you will always be here. Love you forever! Leila xxx :D keep smiiiiiliing!! :D

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!

I only knew you for a couple of months but my memories of you are you being so beautiful so vibrant so in love with the whole world even if you didnt know all the people in it! When i first met you Libby you where so shy at first but when we got to know each other i realised we had a great friendship. When i moved to Rotorua i was so sad to leave you behind without saying goodbye i never had a chance. I just want to say that you will always have a special place in my heart and no doubt in many other hearts. R.I.P Libby. I miss you. I choose a heart to represent the fact that you had a caring loving nature.

She is the only person that ever said to me "Toodle pip!" I didn't know what it meant then, but I do now. I say Toodle pip to you Liberty. I pray that your dad, mum and little brother billy keep their memories of you close to their hearts while they go through this tough time. It will be hard at Christmas, your birthday, etc. And I know you were so special to them. Billy, I can't imagine your pain... but I say to hang in their little bro, it will ease, light will come back into your heart... Just hang on tight to mum and dad and to those special memories you had with Liberty!

I didn't know you personally but a couple of weeks before the tradgety I got bored so I just surfed around bebo and i came across a young girls page. I read her description and all of the quotes and sayings she had on her page. They made me smile, they were so meaningful and true. I didn't bother to have a look at the pictures but she had a big picture on her profile, it was her and two other boys, they looked so happy and the girl was absolutely beautiful i was gonna leave comment on her page saying that but i guess i was too shy to. During the next couple of weeks, she drifted out of my mind then soon i totally forgot about her and the sayings and quotes she had on her page. I was watching home and away on monday night as soon as it finished i went to make dinner but i left it on the same channel, the news came on and i heard something that had me alarmed. A 15 year old girl had been murdered. i was shocked, i didn't know who could do such a thing to a girl so young, she was only a couple of years older than me. I stopped making dinner and went over to the tv they had pictures up of her. Why did she seem so familar? Her name was liberty rose templeman. Her name didn't ring a bell but her face did. Immedietly i went onto bebo and searched up her name then went onto her page. It was the same girls page i had looked at only weeks before, its was the same girls picture with two other boys and it was the same girls quotes and sayings posted on her description. This time when i read over her description and her saying they didn't bring a smile, they only brought tears. Liberty Templeman inspired me to tell people what I have to say, tell the ones i love that i love them and to live life to the fullest because it can be taken away so fast. I now think that way back in the weeks before her death, i should have told her how beautiful she is, i just wish i could now. I chose the orange butterfly because i think butterflies are truly beautiful, graceful and just one of the great things that was thrushed upon this lucky earth, kind of like Libby and her favourite colour was orange.

I just wanted to say that even though I never knew Libby, my friends and I were touched by her story. She was a beautiful young girl whose outstanding achievements and history will live on through those that knew her. Libby looks like an absolutley stunning girl whose time was cut far too short. My thoughts are with her family and friends. Remember Libby in the way she'd want you all to, "shining like the star she is". All my love x

I did not know you personally but a lot of my friends did. They all loved (and still love) you more then you could ever know. I hope you watch all over with them and be with them during the funeral. But I wish it were not your funeral because it's not fair that someone like you should have their life stolen in a spur of a moment at such a young age is so cruel. No one should go through it but they have the bastard (as it just said on the news) R.I.P Libby :-*

I didn't know you directly. Your friends Erin and Nicole, they're close friends of mine. You even talked to my boyfriends little sister on the phone when he was in hospital earlier on in the year. I was heartbroken when I heard what happened to you, you're missed so much Libby. They all want you back, it hurts hearing them hurting so much. You seemed like an amazing, vibrant, friendly young girl, with such talent... You were destined for great things. Its unfair that someone took that away from you, and took you away from everyone that cared about you and loved you. Your funeral is on saturday so I hear, I wish I could be there... Rest in peace Libby, and watch over them <3
