Sad Times
« on: September 06, 2012, 02:48:32 am »
I won't be on here for a while as our family is in shock after a tragic car accident here.

My gorgeous niece was killed instantly when a truck lost control on a bad road just out of Katanning. My nephew and she had just moved over here in April from Queensland and were living out at our farm while saving some money to buy their own place in the country. He was working on a mine up north. She had just turned 40 and they were so happy. No children, though he has two in Q from a previous marriage.

We're having a celebration of her life next Thursday in our town as she had joined quite a few different groups and was really getting into the community.
She will be so missed. I was enjoying having her around and she had transformed the farm house and the garden out there.

It just doesn't seem fair, there are so many ratbags out there and someone who's so beautiful, kind and gentle gets taken away...
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Oh, you must be paralysed with grief, MJ.  So sorry for what you are going through.  Sometimes, the world is just not fair.  xx
