Welcome Home Antigone! Peppa 40-Day Memorial Planned

Antigone is finally out of hospital. After three weeks, it is great to be together again – at home, on our bike, and in the community.

Sadly, Peppa is not around to share Antigone’s homecoming. We have to settle for memories. Fortunately, we have many photos.

Antigone is from a Cypriot background. She was born in Melbourne and her parents met in Melbourne, but both parents were from Cyprus.

One Cypriot custom is to mourn for 40 days after a death. A memorial is celebrated on the 40th day, including a special food called koliva (golifa) – a sweet wheat berry dish. We have decided on Thursday 5 March for a memorial gathering for Peppa (40 days after her death on 24 January). It will also be her burial.

• Who: Friends and family with pleasant memories of Peppa
• When: Thursday 5 March, from 6pm for 6:30 burial, followed by a meal
• Bring: a special ‘Peppa memory’ and some food and drink to share.

We look forward to seeing you.

Bob and Antigone
