I'm waiting for word from Peachy as to the cost of the notice, but I'm hoping we have enough for both that and some really nice flowers.  8)

Got the proofed copy.  Heath's name and date of birth/death, followed by the pic, then the notice.  I think it looks smashing.   8)  I hope it comes out well tomorrow.

I have been thinking about mouk. 

I didn't get to overlap with her much in Alberta, and really our one chance to talk was inside a fast food place while we waited together for some of our fellows.  She is from France and is about as pretty as can be.  I got such a good feeling from her.  Though she doesn't come on BetterMost a lot, and posts even more rarely, she is a true Brokie and a lovely human.  I feel a tiny bit like Daniel Day-Lewis talking about Heath, in that I found her story inspiring to me personally.  I love that with how one thing led to the next, that's how come her photo end up here. 

:-* to mouk.

Yay, Peachy, thanks for all you are doing!  Is there a way we can see it somehow when it comes out?

I'll second that! The dedication and thoughtfullness she put in that tribute (not to mention plowing through all that snow) makes this such a heartfelt tribute.

Merci Mouk!  :-*

OMG guys, Meryl sent me here, I can't believe this is happening. Thank you all, and thank you Peachy for organising it down in Perth and a thousand thanks Ellemeno and Fabienne for your kind words. I feel so honored and overwhelmed, I am shaking and crying. I was thinking of you all when I was at that Campsite, there were so many fond memories from the summer. This photo is from and for all of us.

I am so grateful for meeting you guys, and for your friendship, which I hope will last for ever.

It is true that I don't post much, I am not much of a communicator. Truth is, BBM has dominated my life every single day since my first viewing on 26 Jan 2006, couldn't quit it if I tried to. By making J&E so real, Heath and Jake took me to hell so that I could, finally, feel alive again. I owe them so much more than I can ever say, or comprehend myself.

I did like the photo of Heath / Ennis very much, it was so very relevant and it really is a shame we could not use it. (But I won't complain too loud  ;))

This is so wonderful!   :)   I am so glad that Mouk's photo will be used and I'm sure it will be special and mean so much to Heath's family.

A huge thank you to everyone who has worked so hard on this and to all the other BettterMost contributors.   :-*

I totally agree with Fabienne about being so proud to be a member of Bettermost!
