Farrie in loving memory of mama's childhood besties Farrah and Laurie. Sunrise to share with her aunty Misty Sunrise. Galexi loved being read to, Mama always sang, read and hummed to her. She was a warrior bumblebee princess. Galexi loved the song ‘Joy of My Life’ by John Fogerty, she would be relaxed when it played. Galexi had the most biggest beautiful eyes ever.
