In Memory of Brittany Murphy
December 19, 2009

Pause, listen to your heart, understand the loss if you are able to, grieve, and in this grief comes a deeper understanding.

We as humans can admit that life is not always so easy and a friend who suddenly leaves this planet earth quickly reminds us of this ultimate emotional hurt, its just like loosing one or your parents, children, or even a spouse.

I remember Brittany with only the fondest of memories; as she was a passionate and vivacious lady, full of femininity and charms. It was my great pleasure to have known her socially as well as through the medium of dance, as I was fortunate enough to instruct her on a few of the finer and more significant points of the craft, which she was most attentive to at all times and she certainly personified a “gift” and freedom of expressive movement, she would have made someone a lovely dance partner.

I shall miss my big hearted friend who believed in the “yoga of ballet” and I am certain she touched the hearts and minds of people all over the world.

Your Friend Eternally,

Darling Little Brittany,

 The world has lost a soul of sunshine in the passing of you!

You came into our lives a short four years ago and yet I feel that it was a great privilege to know you. You were a wonderful friend and support always loving in good times and sad always there in every way. You had the gift of understanding that “all you need is love” in this life because that is how you lived your life to the full with love, friendship and integrity. We love you and we miss you!

Our hearts go out to you with eternal love and our prayers for a safe journey whither it takes you. You were and always will be all heart.

Simon, your beloved husband and as you shared with me, your soul mate introduced you to us four short years ago and we were lucky to train you for Ballet. You worked with an innate work ethic that resonated to support your endeavors to add Dance to your already amazing and considerable talents. You succeeded in becoming a beautiful lyrical and interpretive dancer and working with you on choreography was not only fun but also illuminating to witness what talent can achieve when the will and work ethic is there.

I love you and will always be your friend for eternity!
