Australia loses another Canna Warrior …. Vale Richelle Lincoln 1987 – 2018
( 13 th December 1987- 13 th July 2018) This is one of the hardest things I ' ve ever had to write.
Words seem inadequate. This morning the world lost a beautiful woman.
This morning Richelle passed away and the Sun lost some of its shine.
Many, many in the cannabis community loved Richelle. Her compassion, strength and integrity knew no bounds. Having survived Leukaemia and the loss of their beautiful baby girl Angel; David and Richelle- a formidable team were then blessed miraculously with their two beautiful babies, both a true testament of their love for each other. Their determination to make their world, our world a better place in a world that had previously shown them no mercy was nothing but admirable. Richelle was fearless and a loud voice in the truth about cannabis medicine. Such a young woman but a fighter as big as Ali; nothing would stand in the way of Richelle speaking her truth. There are many within our community that would not be the proud advocates we are today had it not been for Richelle ' s brazen at times honesty regarding our plant. Guided and supported by her mum Deb and partner David, the stunning, petite blonde beauty we all loved defied Doctors, argued in the face of prohibition and did it all with that beautiful smile. I ask you all today, to stop and give thanks to the woman who gave so much. The woman we all miss so greatly and to honour her the best way we can- to continue our fight against prohibition and continue to speak our truth about our plant to all those that cross our path, as Richelle did time and time again. We need to do this with integrity and kindness, unified for all of those that have gone before us but led the way to get us where we are today. A gofundme for Richelle has been set up,( gofundme link next page) as she has left behind her devoted partner David and two very young, beautiful children. It seems the least we can do- whether its $ 1 or $ 100 every cent will help. In closing, on behalf of the Cannabis Community I want to send an abundance of love and support to Deb, David and the whole of Richelle ' s family. Please know there are 100 ' s across Australia devastated for your loss. We grieve with you. We stand by your sides sending strength and giving thanks for the privilege of knowing the amazing woman that you call daughter and partner. We love you Richelle. Rest in paradise with your Angel.
Until we meet again Becky Bee xoxo💚💔🌱💔
