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  ;))

Thank you so much for doing that, going there and taking this beautiful picture.  :-*

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.

Wow! I'm so grateful this is happening.

Meryl, Peachy, - Thank you so very much for organizing this. Had a lot of reasons to love the both of you to pieces before, to be sure -  now I've got one more.  :-* :-*

The picture is lovely, Mouk. Flowers, the snow, campsite, the mountain - and the sunlight emerging. Beautiful, evokative tranquility.

 :)

Absolutely agreed.  I think it's poignant, peaceful and personal.

I am so happy about the way this all worked out. Everything is pitch perfect, in my opinion.

Peachy, will be able to post a picture of the notice that way it appeared in the paper? Was the picture in color or black and white?

I plan to photograph or scan it so I can show it to y'all.  I'm not sure if we'll get colour or not.  The proofed version was colour and the classies do have colour sometimes, so fingers crossed!  Either way, it should stand out.

Thank you, thank you so very much Meryl, Peachy, and Mouk.

Through all the sadness, through all tragedy, the silver lining are my fellow Brokies. I am glad and proud to be a BetterMostian.

It feels very therapeutic to be able to contribute to such a wonderful project.  This tribute feels so personal, so us .

I am very fortunate to have been to Goat Creek/Campsite 2, but mostly to have met Mouk and Meryl, two very generous souls.
