    My god, Dale, I'm so sorry. And not just because Cat was the
    only one of us who could organize a pissup in a brewery.

    Wish there was something useful I could say.

    To Dale, Wills, and both yours and Cat's families, please accept my
    deepest condolences.
    Cat was the first person I met from ausmoto and the most staunch and
    caring friend. I will miss her terribly. We were supposed to catch up
    after she and Dale got back from this holiday.
    Dale - my heart goes out to you. If there is any small thing we can do
    to help, please do not hesitate to let us know.

    **** it....sitting here remembering is a hard thing to do, but I am
    gonna do it because we all have memories of Cat and Dale that we want
    to hold onto. Just knowing them both has made a difference in my life
    and knowing that Cat is gone from our lives has suddenly made all the
    small things seem so unimportant.

    condolences to both Cat and Dales' families

    Love and Respect

    Thanks Tony & Vivienne,
    it's a bit hard to explain the community that is aus.motorcycles but
    Jeanette and Dale (and Wil) formed part of the core around which the a lot
    of us orbitted. Although some of us live two, three or four thousand
    kilometers away we're in constant communication so even though we only met
    two or three times a year (or less) we're all quite good friends (and that
    just made the all-too-rare meetings all the more enjoyable!).

    Jeanette and Dale were especially accomodating for we out-of-towners when
    we'd make the pilgrammage to Victoria for the Phillip Island races and they
    organised dinners and accomodation as well as acting as a freight-depot
    when we needed to send stuff on ahead.

    I (and my daughter who saw Cat as the big sister who would sneak her drinks
    and plead her case to stay up just-one-more-hour, Dad....) will very much
    miss Jeanette but we know that'll only be a miniscule fraction of how much
    Wil, Dale, her family and you will miss her.

    Condolences.

    because he needs Cat to erect his tent for him!!

    Un Fucking Believable. When is this going to end ffs.

    I only ever chatted to Cat on IRC. So sorry for your loss Dale :(

    I know the feeling mate. Those of us at Boky's scene still see the
    images. Some of them are fading but others are still very vivid, and I
    suspect will always be so.

  14. As per the earlier message, Dale, I've been struggling all day to come up
    with something to say. The young bloke said to me this arvo, "It certainly
    is a tragedy that Cat died so young." Although he'd only met her the once,
    at last years GP, she definitely struck a chord. I think that pretty much
    sums her up. I know we'll all miss her big, mischievous grin but the
    memories will be long and happy.

    Our sincerest condolences to yourself, Wills, Tony and Viv, and everyone
    else concerned from myself, Blake and Natasha.

    I didn't Know Cat (or Bocky or Maddy) but the feelings generated by the
    words from those on this list make me wish I had.

    Dale, not sure what to say. words aren't what's needed now.

    Here's a huge *HUG* from me, Sibs & the boys....

    My first & lasting memory of Jeanette (I knew she hated me calling her that
    so I did :) ) Was walking across the swingbridge at catoract (sp) gorge
    turning to Sibs and saying yeah with people like this around we have to come
    and live in Oz.....That was oh, 1999 on our honeymoon and we'll be eternally
    grateful for her spirit & enthusiasm in showing us around.

    On a personal note to me her serving CSC's was as close to heaven as I'll
    ever make it.

    Cat we are blessed to have known such a spirited person, thankyou for
    allowing us in to your life.Thankyou Dale for sharing her with us all.

    Dale if you need anything mate contact me.

    Our hopes & wishes are with you & Wills.

    MarkGee and brood

    as though the 75 year old man was sufferring a heart
    onramp of the freeway, so that he was headed in the wrong
    for the other). Their brother was not far behind in his own
    are still underway. As soon as funeral times and dates are
