My old aunty,
You were truly one of a kind. Never forget that cheeky laugh or all the stories you told us as kids. For me sunny cliffs were the best days, full of love and laughter. You taught us church songs I still sing to this day. You had a wild imagination on game ideas and with you around it was never dull. Thank you for loving me and being an awesome aunty/ cousin. I love you aunt fly high xx -

Auntie Sue
One of her dreams was to live by the river and help others heal. May she now walk on Country and her Spirit inspire others.
I’m so honoured that I met her and she gifted me one of her beautiful paintings.
In Respect

Respect Aunty Susan.
I waited for years to hear your voice and when I did, it was a turning point in my life and understanding. You left the simple word “Enough!” in my being.
You claimed Universal Law, and spoke of our mother the Earth and the responsibility of loving her and letting her love us.
We walk on sister, aunty, grandmother, daughter, friend. You spoke when everyone wanted you to be quiet.
Thank you for all your loving us here.
