Regretfully I have to report Lucy Wills died at
home north of Byron Bay in the early hours of yesterday (Saturday). She
was only 28 and 6 years ago was diagnosed as Breast cancer and has had a real
battle over the last 6 months or so in Australia. Most of us from Brad
Edwards in Australia to Annette Reichmann in Germany know Lucy from the movie
Lucy Learns to Fly and the shorter gliding promotion video organised by John
Roake. Although Lucy has left us we will continue to see a young Lucy for
the next 15 to 20 years in the videos. In the last 3 weeks she really
went down hill and regretfully it was only a matter of
time.
I was at a party before Christmas and Lucy was at
our table. She was a slow talking Lucy and later I met her mother who was
the bubbly person of Lucy in the video. Lucy loved the NZ countryside but she
choose to come to Australia more recently as there was more an outdoors climate
in Australia
I do know over the last 6 months Giles Taylor
has been greatly involved with care of Lucy and has done far far more than
any call of duty as a doctor. Christel Taylor assisted in the past as
a physio and the Taylors have had Gavin Wills stay with them when over from
NZ, Rick Bowie had the Wills family on his yacht for a Barrier Reef holiday, and
the Igguldens have had the Wills use their Byron Beach house.
I am uncertain of funeral arrangements. I
think next time I view the video it will be very difficult for me.
