With the presence of the moon
And aligning of the stars,
We caressed each others souls from the very start
We made love not war
In a world full of fear
We learnt how to trust
Gracefully with dignity
We showed the world our hearts
We made love not war
Standing side by side
So fragile, the thread
Invisible to see
We became one
For everyone to see
We made love not war

They had amazing plans to travel both here in Australia, and overseas, when, tragically, those dreams were dashed by the sudden death of Retaw on August 12, 2017.
Since the day that they met, they became instant friends and musical collaborators, playing many different styles, Jazz, Blues, Irish music, Heather's originals, playing in bands together and as a duo and sometimes busking.
