Ah Sienna! It’s not supposed to go like this! The script is all wrong darlin. Hard to keep on truckin with all these tears.
You burst on to the scene like a perfect angel. All us lads were just stopped dead in our tracks. The first baby in our gang. We just didn’t know what to do to be honest! Put down that bloody beer! Stand over there or maybe here. Bloody Digger stop swearing! Clumsy goofballs. Mesmerised. You were so quiet and beautiful. You made parenthood look easy in those days. Mum and Dad just cruising along. It was happy times in Jan Juc.
Then you were a teenager not so long ago it seemed and a little awkward but quiet still and maybe a little sad. I wished I had hugged you more. And made more effort to get to know you better . I was a teacher then and troubled teens were my specialty. But I thought you were going to be ok.
And then you became a woman. And I missed that being on the road for so long. But I heard you needed help and I wished I could have done more. As I healed my own soul and was takin in and tucked up by the Yuin community on Wallaga lake under the shadow of Gulaga sleeping woman mountain. I could see a way for you to beat those demons. A simple way in nature. My Rosie would have sat with you and talked about the Dreamtime and the animal spirits. She has a beautiful childlike nature like you just giggling and bubbling away. And always surrounded by Willy wagtails her totem animal. She would have tucked you up and made you feel safe.
She has just lost her second mother of forty years. Her first when she was removed at age eight from Bega. She came straight from the funeral to Pambula on Friday and in the morning swam around in the mystical river like a fish. Floating and singing. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night and sings hymns. You would have loved her and she would have loved you.
And now you are gone forever. The very heart and soul of our old gang. Things can never be the same.

Sleep peacefully beautiful angel Sienna See you in Dreamtime ❤️🙏

To my beautiful friend Sienna, I count my lucky stars my family moved behind to yours all those years ago. I treasure and adore our shared childhood so much, so many memories I hold deeply and feel so lucky I got two extra sisters in you and Indi. You were forever a burst of incredible bubbly, hilarious and loving energy to always brighten anyone’s day. To Rach, Inds, Mick, Christine, Misha and the extended Ray family I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Sienna. My deepest condolences and sending all my love. Love Ebony x

I met Sienna at the beginning of the year while I was struggling with my mental health. We became friends quite quickly as we happened to be on the same walk that morning. She was a fantastic friend, so full of quick wit and high octane energy. I will fondly remember our trip to see Dune part 2 and the time we nearly missed a record signing because of the 96 tram being late.

I will miss you dearly, Sienna.
Oh Jean.

Angus, from Canberra.
