You were an inspiration to every one you met. The 35 years we spent together were great I could not have asked for a better wife. You were my wife my lover and my best friend I will never forget you. Thank you for all the good times we had together. I enjoyed the trips with you to university, community and organization meetings. In October 2005 we bought a caravan to travel around the west as you were to continue your studies for your PHD. As promised I will now do this for both of us. You made me very proud to be your husband the way you would stand up for what you believed to be right. I have loved you for over 35 years and I will always love you. -Your loving husband Graeme.

Faye Kickett Langdale MA was a remarkable person. Her death is a terrible blow, but her strong, courageous spirit will surely remain with us, and inspire us to work on for the truth and the justice she believed in, and worked so hard for.
As we know, she had to struggle through some terrible health problems, and endured many set backs. The challenges of her research material involved deeply emotional and difficult encounters with her personal history of removal and separation from family and community. But she maintained her driving vision and was determined to keep going with her ‘journey to the truth’, as she called it. And she triumphed. Her thesis is an invaluable document, revealing the unique lived experience of Aboriginality and contributing an important perspective on Western Australian history Her graduation ceremony late last year was a magnificent and very happy triumph.I greatly admired her courage and her tenacity in accomplishing all that she did. I also enjoyed that wicked sense of humour and those ironic side comments, even though they were tempered by a very generous and gracious spirit. There were many laughs when Faye was around. I feel very privileged to have known her, worked with her and been a friend. I would also like to pay special tribute to Graeme, as she herself often did. His love and unfailing support were indispensable in helping her achieve her life’s goal.We grieve so much for her loss, but yet give thanks for life,a life that has made a difference to all who knew her. With admiration and deep gratitude, Rachel Faggetter

“Ode to sister Langdale” To describe sister in a few words is impossible but I will try. My name is Eunice Matthews of Hastings, Victoria, I had the pleasure of being a neighbor to the Langdale family for some years. In this time I watched their family grow to what it is today.Also a mighty strong bond developed between sister and I. We would sit and discuss different problems about the youth of today, our own included. To visit sister was a challenge at times especially when she was writing “her book”, one had to step over sheets of paper on the floor to get to her, each heap was a story and if they happen to get messed up heaven help us. I learnt a lot while sister was writing, things that I will never forget. Of course we had quite a few laughs, things such as her garden. We would get very busy getting things ready removing weeds ETC. Then sister would go to the market and bring back plants so that meant another day or so planting. If sister went to visit anyone she would come with enough cuttings to plant the street, but that was sister. We shared our gardens and I have still got some of sister’s plants growing today. Cups of tea and fresh bread smothered with slabs of butter and jam was the highlight of my visits next door, and when I say slabs, I MEAN SLABS. It is with a heavy heart that I have to say “CHEERIO” to my best friend. I know that we will always walk side by side, sister I will give you a wave when I am out west on the bash and I know you will wave back. I will miss you pal but I will keep going over here for us both.-Eunice.

For Our Sister- We're so grateful for the loyalty and love you've shown us over the years.
