28th August 1951
1st August 2007
From Renmark, SA, Australia
(formerly of Blayney NSW) Australia
~ Mum's Eulogy ~
(from her funeral, 6th August, 2007)
Bev was born on the 28th August, 1951, in a small town in Western NSW called Condobolin, to Bill and Joan Higgins. She was the youngest of four children - having an older sister (Gloria) and two brothers (John & Ron).
Bev was born and bred on the land and always had an affinity with both it - and animals... especially horses. She started riding at a very young age and it wasn't long before she was a very accomplished horsewoman, whose passion continued till the day she died. Speaking of the day Bev died... for the horse people among you today - you may well have noticed the connection with the date, the 1st August, 2007. It was quite appropriate that she passed on this day, as it is known as the Horses' Birthday. Bev must have thought it was quite apt too!
Bev had three children, Tracey the oldest, followed then by Graeme and Jason. There were always extra children around the place though as Bev always tended to be a surrogate and understanding 'mum' figure to plenty of other children throughout her life. Tracey, Graeme and Jason were always told how lucky they were to have a cool mum and they could only agree! Bev always involved herself in her children's activities and had fun doing it. Some activities included pony club instructor, basketball coach and soccer mum.
Bev was so much more to her children than just being their mum... she was also their best friend. There were plenty of times growing up that Bev covered for the kids and got them out of trouble. Graeme and Jason remember swinging on the old clothes line outside - going round and round till it snapped to the ground. Bev went crook on them of course - but covered for them, with their dad, and said she had tripped and grabbed it! Tracey remembers her mum giving her - her first reversing lesson in their car - up the narrow lane beside their house. Tracey put her foot down and roared backwards - sideswiping all of the trees on the left hand side of the car. Bev took the blame for that too - so Tracey would be able to get in the driver's seat again for another lesson.
All Bev wanted in life was for her children to be happy - and she was thrilled in the knowledge that they were all in happy marriages and relationships with loving families.
In 2001 Bev met a pretty special man who stole her heart and became an integral part of her happiness in these last years of her life. It pleased the family greatly when Bev and Ted got married in Fiji, in 2003, and Ted became an official part of Bev's family. Bev and Ted had such a special bond and even on the second last day of her life when she was mainly sleeping and hardly talking... Bev heard Tracey telling Ted (over her bedside) how special he was to her.. .and how happy he has made her over the last 6 years. No sooner had she said it - than Bev opened her eyes and smiled. It was if she was thanking Tracey for saying it - and letting her 'Bucky' (as she nicknamed Ted) know just how true it was.
Anyone who met Bev could not help but like her. Her fun loving and straight forward nature drew people like bees to honey. There were 'no flies' on Bev and she was never afraid to speak her mind or stick up for what she believed was right. Bev was always one for the underdog - and lo and behold anyone who tried to pick on the underdog when she was around.
As mentioned earlier - Bev had a fond love of animals. Growing up, the kids remember living in a household where there were pet emus, pigs, sheep, dogs, 17 cats at one stage, plenty of horses, goats, ferrets, rabbits, chooks etc... Also - if anybody can tell you that foxes can't be tamed - never met Bev's pet fox... once again saved and reared by Bev!
Bev was a keen wildlife warrior too and there would often be midnight phone calls to save a baby joey whose mother had been shot. It was not often in her lifetime that there were not at least 3 or 4 pet kangaroos hopping around the place.
Bev was also a bit of a 'bush vet' and fixed many of the families animals when they were injured - or other people's that they brought to her. One incident that stands out - was her working on a gelding whose shoulder had been badly ripped on a steel stake. Her persistence each day with tending to the horse - saw him fit again with hardly a scar. Another incident was the time an unborn lamb had died inside a ewe. They couldn't get it out - so Bev gave the sheep a caesarean, removed the dead lamb and then stitched it up! It recovered beautifully and lived to have a long life but for some reason or other - it never produced lambs again!
Another example of her dedication to animals was when Graeme came home with a young Chihuahua puppy. It had been running around the house with another of their pups - when it knocked his head into the table legs and knocked himself out cold. Bev flew over to him and the future didn't look great for little Hermie. Bev got on her hands and knees and started giving this Chihuahua mouth to mouth - and revived him!
Bev's children had a bit of a giggle when Bev moved over to Renmark from her home in Blayney, NSW. Poor old Ted didn't realise what he was in for. Ted who had no animals didn't know what was going to hit him. Here was this man who did not have a single pet - and look at what they ended up with; a big Rottweiler dog, cats, birds, fish, a miniature horse stud, turtles and even an ant farm! The kids tried to warn you Ted.. but they also thought it was amusing at the same time to sit back and watch. That is another reason why they love Ted so much... He indulged Bev and her interests soon became his as well. In that way they really bounced well off each other - because Bev developed a lot of Ted's interests as well, for example their love of old wares and curios.
Another important role Bev played was that of beloved nanny - or 'ninny' as she was initially called, to that of her grandchildren. She had four grandchildren, Sammi, Billy, Chanon and Alex, and was very proud of them all. She was so pleased that Sammi showed such an interest in horses from such a young age - and that they shared that passion till the end. Bev said to her children last week - to not the grandchildren forget her and was reassured they never will. Even in everyone's heartbreak now it is hard to stay sad for too long.. not when there are so many stories to tell, involving Bev, that usually involve great amounts of laughter. The family are lucky because they have so many precious memories, lovely photos and video footage of her. This will bring them all great comfort.
Bev always had a great belief in coming back... and that death was only part of the process in the world we are in... it wasn't the end of her spirit... just another step in her journey. Bev would always say that she would be watching out over her family and they all truly believe she will be. A mother and wife with a love as strong as hers will never die... and her family are so grateful for that number one lesson she taught them the most... that of love.
Ted and the kids are going to miss Bev a lot, but they are also glad she is out of pain now and that her very hard fought battle with Ovarian Cancer is over.
Ted would like to say after working and living alone for so long - it was sheer joy and love to be able to work, laugh and play alongside a loving partner. Through her illness Bev never complained or said 'why me?'. Bev always had a positive nature and they carried on with life.
Bev is probably reunited with her favourite mare from her younger days, Silver, and is already up there jumping the gates of Heaven, and galloping around God's garden. Hopefully she will stir up the rain a bit while she's up there and get this Murray River flowing strong again.
RIP Bev... you deserve it, and once again... thanks for being a number one mum to your children, a loving wife to Ted, and a good friend to many.

MOTHER’S DAY IN HEAVEN
It’s Mother’s Day in heaven, and though we loved them so,
God gently called our mothers home. We knew they had to go.
They had fulfilled their task on earth. They’d served Him every day.
They loved and cared and prayed and shared. God had shown them the way.
They must be kneeling by God’s throne and asking Him to send
His love to each and every child, and every special friend.
I’m sure they’ve not forgotten their loved ones here on earth.
Their happiness must rival that of when they gave us birth.
They must feel young and strong again and equal to each task
That God would have them to fulfill. They need not even ask…
For He would know that in their hearts they know and love us still,
And that they seek to serve Him yet within His blessed will.
Perhaps they’ve joined the angel choir and sing their songs of praise,
Rejoicing in God’s presence throughout un-numbered days.
While we cannot imagine the beauty of that place,
Our mothers see and understand the wonder of God’s grace.
Yes, it’s Mother’s Day in heaven, that home beyond the blue,
And our mothers will be waiting until we join them, too.
So trust in God. Give Him your heart, refuse a life of sin.
Believe His word, accept His son, and He will let us in.

I love you Ma...

By Tracey on 21st July 2008
Mum I read this beautiful poem and I want you to know - you gave us wonderful memories and tremendous love in your 'dash' years... But I know there is another dash after that final date of 1/8/07.... I know you are still there loving us. Love Tracey xxxxx
The Dash Between the Years
I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years.
(1935 - 2001)
For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; The cars...the house...the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard... Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what's true and real, And always try to understand The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile. Remembering that this special dash May last only a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read With your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?

Hiya Ma, I'm guessing you had a little help in Jack's decision today :-) It has made me really happy - as much as I'd have loved to have bought the farm ourselves I am just glad it is still staying in the family :-) Thrilled in fact!!! I hope it all works out and nothing changes his mind.
We all miss you like crazy - and it's hard to believe that it is nearly one year since you left us physically... I know you are here with us spiritually though because I feel you.
Love you Ma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
By Tracey on 1st July 2008
Hi Ma,
It is 11 months today - omg it is nearly a year :-( I keep thinking back to this time last year and how sick you were getting.... that this was the last few weeks I got to spend with you.
Gosh I miss you so much. We all talk about you constantly... I guess that's why they say - "No longer in our lives to share - but in our hearts, always there". It's true mum... you will always be there.
Missing you and loving you every day, xxxxxxxx |
By Tracey on 21st June 2008

Dear Ma, Happy Mother's Day. My first one without you - and it feels strange :-(
I was so lucky to have you as my mum. You showed me what love is... and that is why I hurt so much now... because I loved you so much. While I have that ache though - I know I'll never forget you.
I think of you everyday - often.
One day we'll be together again Ma... thanks for everything and being a wonderful mum xxxxxxxxx |

Hiya Ma - Happy New Year for 2008! Jack and family went out to the dam camping with us for the night - We talked about you a fair bit xxx
It was sort of hard welcoming in the New Year - because I felt like at least you were in 2007 - with 2008 it's a whole new year which you have not been a part of and it makes me so sad to think of that :-(
Anyway you are in our thoughts constantly and we miss you badly.

~~ A MOTHER'S LOVE ~~
A Mother's love is something
that no-one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Ma - I miss you so much. I can't stop thinking about you everyday and the tears are still flowing. I'm glad you are out of pain - but that still doesn't stop the hurt I feel from losing you. I hope you are up there with Pop and your mum. Love Tracey xxxxxxxxxx |
