Roxi made this beautiful compilation of images and music.
The song is the one that her Dad Richard used to sing to her to send her off to sleep and the one she sang to him to send him on his next adventure.

About Me
- JoeyJoJo
- I started this blog when I moved to the UK with my husband Ricardo the Magnificent. After losing him to liver cancer in 2010 I decided to move back to my home town in Melbourne, Australia. As political philosopher Thomas Paine would declare, "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren and to do good is my religion".

This is so beautiful. There is no need to say that he loved his life and life loved him. Just a shame it wasn't for longer.
Our love to you both,
Heather and Pete xxxxxxxxxxxxx
My darlings. I'm so glad you know now. Hope to see you at the funeral on Friday the 8th Oct at 4pm at East Harling Church.

I am so sorry to hear about Rick's leaving. I have no doubt he will stir chaos and bring cheer on a different plane as he did on this one. Judi Wood Sawtell Australia
Dear Jo and Roxi,
Thankyou for your grace and generosity during these last months of Rick's life. Your true and profound sorrow is shared by so many through this blog.
This last collage shows us the joyful adventure of Rick's life of which you were both at the core.
It seems that comfortable, cosy jumper worn as a boy lasted a lifetime.
Many, many tears are falling in Melbourne.
Love Mick and Sophie Fleming
Darling Mick Fleming, if it hadn't been for you looking after me on the CD merchandise table at the National Junk band, I would never had met Ricardo in the first place. A million thanks. xxxxx
