On Saturday I placed a public notice in the local paper extending our personal thanks to the community. It would be remiss of me not to extend that thanks further to friends and family across Victoria, Australia and around the world. Thus, in continuing to use this blog as a form of communication:
I feel like I will be numb forever and I feel like I will always be looking around for her or wanting to tell her something, hold her hand, laugh, sing……..waiting for her to run into the room and give me a big cuddle. Sometimes I even think (or perhaps wish) the beautiful photos that she ensured surrounded me before she went would come to life. It’s a hole that will always be with me and will never be filled but I am eternally grateful to everyone for their support.
True to Pippa and her love of music, words to another song from her playlist come to mind…….
At the end of the day some you win, some you don’t,
So I’m glad that I’m here with some friends that I know,
Always there with a smile saying, “You’re not alone”.
My darling little girl…………
Pippa Rea 
😥 💔😘
Virginia, that photo of you both is so heart-breakingly beautiful. I am so very happy that you feel that Pippa’s send off was beautiful and as you said, ‘perfectly Pippa’. We send our love to you, James and Patrick. Carolyn, Jobe, Coen and Yarra xxxx
You will find much comfort in your memories Virginia but beautiful as they are, they won’t be enough.
We all admire your courage and more. Please know you are much loved . We’re all here for you whenever you call. God bless you and your brave, loving boys.
Such beautiful words! My prayer for you Verginia and your precious boys is that you stay strong! Lots of love from Lidija, Joshua & Mathew XXXOOO
