Georgia touched hearts
Tributes for teenager
TEENAGER Georgia Brown has been remembered as a ray of sunshine with a zest for life.
The Year 9 Sacred Heart student died from a pulmonary embolism — a blockage in the lung arteries — on September 19.
She had turned 16 just 10 days before her death.
In their eulogy, two of Georgia’s aunties remembered their beloved niece’s big smile, infectious laugh and a passion for living in her own unique and special way.
She loved to go on morning tea dates with her mum Caroline, and getting her hair and nails done.
Georgia’s aunts said the St Albans Park teenager touched the hearts of all who knew her.
Georgia, who was born with Down syndrome, attended Christ the King Primary School, where she played netball and was a school leader in performing arts.
She attended Sacred Heart College Geelong for secondary school, and her lasting impact on it is clear.
In its tribute to her, the school remembered Georgia, who started there in 2017, as proud, charismatic, empowered, determined and colourful, with a great sense of humour.
“Georgia was indeed our gift at Sacred Heart College,” the tribute said.
“She was much loved and known by all.”
“Georgia had a beautiful charisma that drew others to her.
“She connected through her passion of music, engaging others in her love of the arts.”
Sacred Heart paid tribute to Georgia’s contagious mischievous giggle and her wicked sense of humour.
“She relied on her sense of humour when things became challenging,” it said.
“Sacred Heart had become a magical place for Georgia.
“She felt safe, connected and belonged.
“She will be fondly remembered and will forever hold a special place in our hearts and community.”
Georgia was the muchloved daughter of Frank and Caroline Brown.
Her life was celebrated at St Bernard’s church in Belmont on Wednesday last week, with more than 400 people attending. A DEER smashed through the window of a Long Island hair salon in the US and ran amok before breaking out the front door with a straightening iron in tow.
Be.you.tiful salon owner Jenisse Heredia said she was cutting a client’s hair when she heard “this wild crash” and thought it was a car.
Ms Heredia said the buck ran through to the back of the shop, came back out and hit a mirror, then ran out with an iron caught on its antlers.
Police said one client suffered leg and head pain when the buck jumped over her as she sat on a couch. AUSTRALIAN Jock Palfreeman could face another two months behind bars after Bulgaria’s highest court adjourned a hearing about whether to overturn his parole.
The 32-year-old was found guilty of murder in 2009 and sentenced to 20 years in jail for fatally stabbing a 23-yearold student in Sofia. He was granted parole two weeks ago.
The decision prompted public outrage and a bid by Bulgaria’s prosecutor-general to revoke his release.
The three-judge panel has two months to make its decision.
