What a fabulous celebration in the park - we farewelled Stephen, a fella who had been taken far too soon.
A life lived in two halves - severely injured in a crash at the age of 17, given a 5% chance of survival - he went on to amaze family, friends and medical professionals by living on to the age of 45.
Rest easy now, Stevo.

It's this kind of feedback that warms my heart - knowing I have helped someone through a difficult time is so very rewarding.

"We really appreciated your approach and the way you brought the whole funeral service together, it made our situation a whole lot easier. The way you relaxed us all during the service was really appreciated, and for me, I was not nervous about getting up and talking about times in Broome with Dad (and Mum) and how special that was to me, and my family."

"I think one of the stand outs of the preparation for Dad’s service was your interaction with Mum and the way you got so much information from her about their meeting and their courting days and early life together. I think it really relaxed Mum and encouraged her to happily reminisce about those early years."

TESTIMONIAL: I just wanted to personally thank you for the moving tribute you delivered at my beautiful Mum’s funeral service.

The sincerity with which you honoured Mum, and capturing her qualities and the true essence of who she was, was incredibly moving and inspiring.

So many people commented on how beautifully you articulated Mum’s life, and on the heartfelt way you delivered the eulogy on Dad’s behalf.

It brought great comfort to us all.

I would also like to thank you for the kindness and support you showed our family in the lead-up to the service, and for your calm, caring presence on the day itself. It meant more than you know — especially to Dad and myself.

I am so grateful that, through your compassionate delivery and my own contribution, we were able to create a farewell that truly honoured Mum and made the day so special.

Together, it felt meaningful and heartfelt — exactly what she deserved.

She would have loved it, and I’m sure she was smiling down on us.

With heartfelt thanks

Geraldton and surrounds experience very strong winds - causing the trees to bend over time.

While some see bent trees - I see strength, resilience and courage to defy the elements and environment - to thrive the best way you can.

p.s. excuse the reflections and bug guts on the windscreen 😂

The real reason for travelling to Mullewa....
Our friend, Janice, died at the end of January.
We collected her ashes and have taken her on a road trip to her home in Mullewa.
If this idea offends you - that's ok - that's your choice - you don't have to do it.
Janice would have loved to be back on the open road - back to her home.

Now to find our next camp.

Love me some unsealed roads....
