Memorial to an inspiring life

Here is some feedback submitted by Alan Fairfull

This park must not be closed, it is so important to remain open, not just for myself but my entire family. My sister, Wendy, lost her long battle with cancer and her dying wishes were for her ashes to be scattered around the large fig tree at the end of the park.

Wendy had a huge love of travel and on the numerous times we all visited the park towards her final days, she would remark on the view from the park being able to see the things she loved, the ocean, the hillsand mountains and the jets arriving and leaving Cooly airport.

This closure of the park is not only hurtful for myself but her elderly parents who would drive sometimes 1 or 2 times per week from Lismore to spend time and reflect on their daughter.

They are absolutely distraught with this decision, as well as my sisters sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

Wendy also had numerous friends on the Tweed, from being the owner/operator of the Tweed Tender Centre for over 10 years. These friends often visited the tree also to pay their respects.

We all find this closure infuriating, we are all still grieving for her and forever will, we have already missed having Mother's Day with her. Please do not let us miss any other days. This park is the only memorial wehave of her, please find it in your hearts to reopen the park and let us visit and grieve a truly inspirational woman.
