A LETTER OF LOVE

and got to know her a little when she studied year 12? at Newlands High School. I have tears streaming as I put fingers to keyboard. I was in awe of your family, Ron the local butcher, Lorna a real mum.....I remember coming home with Donna and catching up on the afternoon soapie with her, little Elizabeth so cute, Donna’s older brothers you, Paul & Perry And of course beautiful Vicki. I remember her giving money to a year 7 student who was upset having lost the bus fare, not knowing how she was going to get home. Donna always spoke of Vicki when we were first friends in year 7.

Death too has knocked on my family’s door ..Please sent my love to Donna..Donna was the smartest in our class, reading Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit way before anybody else had. She had the greatest sense of humour, her intelligence and wit was amazing. I remember Donna skipping rope in PE, she taught us how to skip really fast, like boxer’s do. I still skip the “Donna Cleary” way.

Once again sorry really just doesn’t do it, but take solace that Beautiful Vicki touched many lives in her short life.

Helen
