Chris Seeley
21 August 1966 – 3 December 2014
Chris died at 6.47pm Wednesday 3 December from the effects of a brain tumour. She was at home in her beloved Folly Cottage surrounded by her family, a few of her many friends, and with me by her side. She had been unconscious since Tuesday lunchtime and slipped away without distress or pain as if carried on a sea of love. Afterwards, we sat with her until dawn to accompany her passing. Next morning we found these words in her journal, written about 10 days before.

hacking at
the
mooring
lines
tying me
to my
life, the
shore,
the jetty of
my life
as the
tide comes
in and
oh so
gradually
bits disappear
under the
starlight
and others
float off
to sea. Gone in
the morning.
Light, love and blessings dearest Chris – to you and to us all.
With tears in my eyes, I wish you love and safe travels on the next part of your adventure.
I only knew you briefly but you were an inspiration to me as a woman and as someone eager to affect change in this world. May your spirit ride high dear Chris.
Love to you and all the family Geoff x
What a beautiful wild-marginy Chris Seely-ish photo. Thank you for sharing it Geoff.
With love
This photo beautifully reflects Chris and what is meant here. When I think of her, so often you come to my mind as her soul partner.
May love, patience, wisdom and light continue to be with Chris and you.
With love
As I sit here surrounded by photos of this wonderful daughter smiling at me from all directions, my heart fills with sadness at the thought of her sister Helen and myself watching her slip away from us. There must be a “better place” somewhere where she is now sharing her incomparable personality with all the other good people that have left us.
