Kirste was born on the 29th of November 1968 at the Southern Districts Hospital, McLaren Vale. She was in such a hurry to come into this world that she arrived just before the doctor, and by the time her father arrived, she was ready to greet him for a first cuddle. Her speedy arrival was the first indication of her lively, inquisitive, and happy nature.
On the 21st of July 1969 the world and Kirste watched Neil Armstrong take man's first step on the moon. Even though she was only 8 months old her mother wanted her to be part of such a great event.
There wasn't a kindergarten in the area at the time but there were several young families living in the street and as Kirste grew, she had several friends to play with. One girl was her special friend, and they were inseparable. The pair loved to sing various songs and nursery rhymes together, but their favourites were Neil Diamond's "Porcupine Pie" and The Carpenter's "Sing a Song". They were not deterred that they only knew the words "Porcupine Pie" and "Sing a Song" which they sang repetitively. One day her grandmother took her for a ride on the bus and she entertained the passengers with a range of nursery rhymes which, proud Nana said they all enjoyed. She was 2½ years old.
Our black-and-tan Australian Terriers, Peter, and Susie had a litter of puppies. Kirste gave them copious attention and gentle cuddles.
During a visit to the residence of a friend, Kirste wandered through the garden and came upon some lilies which were hot-pink in colour. She was quite fascinated by them, and our friend later passed on some bulbs to her. The bulbs grew leaves annually but did not flower until the year of Kirste's 40th birthday. They have multiplied and flowered ever since, and we now refer to them as 'Kirste Lilies'.
On the afternoon of Saturday 25 August 1973, Kirste was abducted from the Adelaide Oval by an evil, opportunistic predator whose identity is yet to be found. Since that time, there has been no evidence of Kirste's life or death.
Kirste's spirit and being is ever-present in our hearts and minds with the fondest of parental love and affection.
