Hi Shaz,
So sorry to hear of Trevor's passing. I know how much he meant to you. I know exactly what you are going through, I too unfortunately lost someone just as dear to me 9 years ago, not an actor but a racing driver who had as much effect on me as Trevor has with you.
In case you don't remember me, I am the other Aussie that accompanied Colleen to the Fest last year. We spent some time in the pool on Sunday afternoon having a chat.
I will always remember the Fest with fond memories. It was such fun and Trevor was the life and soul of the party. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet Trevor and some of the cast and fans. Thinking of you at this time of need. God Bless.
