In Memory of Gillywin (28 October 1983 - 17 June 2005)
Gillian was an all-round amazing person. She was a valuable contributor to bluelight as a whole, which is evidenced by the outpouring of love for her in the "Bluelight remembers Gillywin" thread. The Perth (Western Australia) bluelight community felt her loss keenly, as Gilly heralded from perth and they are a tight bunch who spent alot of time with her. Her posts attracted alot of positive attention from the greater Australian Bluelight community, as she seemed to have found the perfect balance of being able to joke around, but maintain seriousness when it was called for.
Below is a poem read by her brother, Jonny, at her funeral:
Gillian
i have heard people say, you don't know what you've got till its gone
but i always knew, i've known all along
coz theres a hole in my heart, that i'll never fill
because theres someone missing
and we called her gill
she had a smile that could light up the world
such a caring intelligent and beautiful girl
i wonder if she knows how much i've missed her
and that i'd do anything to have her back, to have my little sister
but theres one thing ii'mtthankfulfor, that i had the chance
to be that lucky person who shared her last dance
i'll never forget the look on her face,as i spun her around
and she never stopped smiling, even when she sat down
i think of these good times we had in the past
and as far as sisters go,she really kicked ass
my love for her was like a love for no other, and i know she felt the same
coz she called me brother
to my sister i still have here , claire, i just want you to know
i love you so much, and together we'll grow
we need to be strong, and we ddon'thave to hide
coz gills still standing here right by our side
the only thing now, is she looks down from above
but i know that shes there coz i can still feel her love
i wish i could write more, but i cant even think
coz my hearts filled with sorrow, and all i can do now is sink
so now its goodbye, uuntilwe meet again
i've lost more than my sister, you were also my friend
i have heard people say, you don't know what you've got till its gone
but i always knew, i've known all along
coz theres a hole in my heart, that i'll never fill
because theres someone missing
and we called her gill
she had a smile that could light up the world
such a caring intelligent and beautiful girl
i wonder if she knows how much i've missed her
and that i'd do anything to have her back, to have my little sister
but theres one thing ii'mtthankfulfor, that i had the chance
to be that lucky person who shared her last dance
i'll never forget the look on her face,as i spun her around
and she never stopped smiling, even when she sat down
i think of these good times we had in the past
and as far as sisters go,she really kicked ass
my love for her was like a love for no other, and i know she felt the same
