  2. Dear MIchelle,

    You were strong, stoic and practical. More so than any other person I’ve known. You didn’t waste time fussing when there was a problem, instead worked your way through and to a solution. I loved that about you.

    When my 45kg dog jumped out the back of your ute and nearly hung himself, you very calmly and simply picked up his front legs. He could breathe, I had time to unchain him and you just shrugged your shoulders and said, “ I guess he’s never been in a ute before, better keep an eye on that next time.”

    You had a way of cutting through to the heart of things, and if you couldn’t change or control it, then you let it go. I try every day to find that kind of wisdom, but you just lived it.

    You had an way way with people and animals, being honest, fair and fundamentally believing that an investment in them was an investment in yourself.

    I’m gonna miss you my friend.

    Safe journey and much love,
    Tanja
