RIP lovely Lady. Many a good times were had with you. I miss your infectious smile and your lust for life and good times xox
To the beautiful Philippa, From our carefree, fun London days, with the many parties at both Monson Road and Acton Town, to reconnecting years later on the Sunshine Coast, I’m so grateful our paths crossed again — and that I had the opportunity to reconnect with you. I got to experience your energy, your spirit and your beautiful soul, while admiring all the amazing things you had achieved personally, spiritually and professionally. With great music, good wine, good food, walks on the beach, deep and meaningful conversations and truly amazing moments with mutual friends, we got to laugh, dance and party together yet again. And while we had both grown in so many ways, our desire for fun and crazy times certainly hadn’t burnt out. I truly admired the life you created and feel so grateful for the chance to reconnect with you again. I will always treasure those memories and the time we shared. I’m so sad to say goodbye, fellow Virgo, dear friend — but I know you will always shine bright, like a diamond in the sky, and hold a very special place in the hearts of all who knew you. Until we meet again, GF. ❤️

Memories of Legs go back to the good old days in the Hutt, when we were young adults and enjoying all the night life and parties.

My beautiful friend You brought so much fun, friendship and support into my life. Remember the stone you gifted me when I was going through a tough time? It has been on my bedside table since the day you gave it to me and I will now always treasure it as part of you. Even though you are no longer in this world, I know we will meet again - until then you will never leave my heart. Thank you for your love and friendship. Know that I will always talk about you and keep you alive in my memories. Grā Ants
