Yesterday, we lost one of our members, way too soon, at the age of 38. When Savanna joined our choir, she had an amazing pixie cut hairstyle, which only much later did I learn was from going through multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and finally growing her hair back. Sav recovered from her first bout of stomach cancer, and came to us when she was feeling ready to face the world and life again. She had an enormous and beautiful voice, and always kept the high group in order, as was the only one who instantly remembered what we were taught!
Sadly, just before the 5 year mark of remission, her cancer returned, and spread quite aggressively. While this is more proof that life is in no way fair and just, it was an absolute honour to have known Savanna, laughed and sung with her.
For those that would want, there is to be a celebration of Savannas life at Freo Yacht Club at 11am on the 23rd of March.
