"Nine years of heartbreak without you Jonah and a fight you never wanted us to be in! Fighting to stop your name, the name you gave us as your family, our name and your legacy that’s being taken from us!
Nine years. It feels like both an eternity and the blink of an eye. Every day without you has been a reminder of the love we shared, the life we built together, and the unshakable bond that can never be broken, no matter how much time passes. And yet, with every year that goes by, the pain of your absence grows heavier in some ways, but in others, it sharpens my resolve to continue fighting for you, for our family, and for the legacy that you deserve.
For nine years, I’ve carried your memory with me—your laugh, your kindness, your wisdom. I’ve done everything in my power to protect what was ours, the life we dreamed of, the promises we made to each other. I've tried so hard, Jonah, to protect your name, our son's name and my name. I've fight against those who have taken advantage of your trust and tried to strip us of what was rightfully ours—what you worked so tirelessly for, and what our sons deserve to inherit.
The fight has been brutal, heartbreaking, and full of betrayals that I never had before you were called to Heaven. But I carry on because I know this: your legacy is not something that can be erased, no matter how hard they try to rewrite history. You built something strong, something real, something that will outlast the darkness and deceit that others tried to sow. You left us with more than material wealth because you weren't even protected with that, just like we have had it all taken from us too—you left us with integrity, with love, and with the strength to keep pushing forward.
I fight for you, Jonah, because you deserve it. Our sons deserve it. Our family deserves to hold onto the future we envisioned, and I will make sure that they know their dad—not just by the things you left behind, but by the values you instilled in us. Your name will never be taken from our hearts. The love and honour you gave us will never be erased. No one can take that from us.
I miss you more than words can say. But I find strength in knowing that you’re still with me, in every decision I make, in every fight I continue to wage. Nine years without you, and yet it feels like a lifetime of love that has never faded. I will keep fighting to protect the legacy we built, to honour the trust you placed in those who should have protected you, and to ensure our sons grow up knowing the truth and how much you loved them.
Brayley and Dhyreille are hurt and angry at how I've been treated, bullied and manipulated despite being the love of your life Jonah. They will never like or respect any person who has failed to act in our best interests, made me cry time and time again in addition to the grief of losing you. Our sons are now ready to take a stand against those who claim our name belongs to them and not us!
Until we meet again, Jonah, I will carry you with me. We will keep your name, your spirit, and your legacy alive in every way we can despite the legal fight over our name. You are not forgotten. You never will be, you will always be our forever hero. NBD XOX" - Nadene Lomu said.
