Personal stories

Sky Jane Hawkins
Sky was the most amazing punk faerie sister. She was a poet, a performer, an animal whisperer and a free spirit. Once you met Sky, you never ever forgot her. She could light up a room, fill people with fits of giggles and make you put your hands over your face if she said an off the cuff Sky comment! She was sometimes high in the Sky, flying with hope, aspiration and a touch of mania, and she was also sometimes very low and withdrawn. No matter how she presented, she was always loveable and always kind. She gave the best advice, having had years of lived experience herself. She loved with all her heart and put her soul into everything she cared about. She was a mother, a lover, a fighter and a friend. There aren't enough words in the English language to embody who and what she was. Fly high Sky, you have left your mark on this world and your spirit will live on in all those memories.
