Vale Cat.

Like Damien, I'd only met her for the first time on Friday, but I'd
talked to her often on IRC.

All the best to Dale and family.

I broke the news to gNatalie this morning and her response was "but
she's my big sister...." (and my eyes are misting up again typing
this).

I cannot describe the mix of shock, hurt and sympathy I'm feeling.

 

My deepest condolenses to Dale, and to all of Cat's friends and family.

I don't post here very often, but I do lurk around. Even though I had
never met Cat (or anyone else here, for that matter), I was familar
with her name, and knew roughly where she fitted into the colourful
montage that is aus.moto. To hear such news absolutly floors me. I
didn't know her personally, and I don't profess to know much about her
or anybody else here. What I do know, however, I've gleaned through
reading her posts, and in the way in which others spoke of her.

What I know is that she was much loved by all those who did have the
fortune to know her, and to have her in their life.

So even though you don't know me, please accept my condolences in the
spirit in which they are offered. It deeply saddens me hear of the
passing of such a valued and treasured member of this community.

Vale Cat.

Do you have the funeral details, Jase? (Assuming it's not going to be
a family-only affair.)


BTH
(Now with knocked-out stuffing).

 

All too true and all too real.

Jeanette had gone out yesterday evening with her brother and sisters, and were on their way home.

According to preliminary talks with the Coroner, it appears at this stage as though the 75 year old man was sufferring a heart
attack or a stroke, got disorientated and performed a U-turn from the onramp of the freeway, so that he was headed in the wrong
direction.

Straight into the path of the car Jeanette was driving.

She died at the scene not long after her father and I got there.

I am never going to forget the image of her trapped in the drivers seat of what once resembled a car.

Her sisters are ok and will heal (cuts and bruising to one, broken bones for the other). Their brother was not far behind in his own
vehicle and came across the scene.

Now I have the heartbreaking task of telling our 7 year old son that mum is not coming home.

Jeanette's body is still to be released as investigations into the crash are still underway. As soon as funeral times and dates are
known, we will let everyone know. It will be in Launceston. That much is known.

Thankyou to all that have contacted me and/or passed on their well wishes. It is greatly appreciated.

 

Funeral details will follow as soon as know which way is up.

At this stage we're not totally sure when Jeanette's body will be released (as early as Friday, but could even be Monday). We're
hoping the Funeral will be Tuesday, but alot depends of factors outside our control (I still have not seen her since being asked to
clear space for crews to get to her in the car.

It won't be restricted to family, and we have a friend dropping by our house on their way down to collect some of Jeanette's
personal effects and bring them down to Tassie (helmet, jacket, scout uniform.....maybe even her bike).

Can I say it?? 2006 officially sucks.

 

I still havent gotten over losing Boky, and now ive lost you my closest
friend. This is just not fair, you had so much more living and loving to do.
I am still in shock, disbelief and cant find the right words to say. My
heart goes out to Dale, William, and Biddy, and to everyone that knew and
loved cat. You will be dearly missed, and nothing will be the same without
you.

Words cannot convey my feelings. Live life the way she would have wanted you
to.

difference, but I'm very sorry.

A message to all:

We know only a very few of you, but have been immensely moved by the tributes and messages that have arrived, and continue to

We are so very gratified and heartened to know both that our son and his family hold such a place in your hearts, and that there is
such a generous community out there. If we never actually meet you in person, please know that your response will stay with us for
ever.
Please re-post this message on any other sites which may be relevant.

That sucks. Sorry :-(

 

Dale I don't have words to express what I am feeling, it still seems
impossible that Cat is gone and we will not see her laughing and smiling
with us again

Know that our thoughts are with you, and if there is anything we can do
please please let us know.


Deepest Sympathy

G-S & Jodz.
