00:13thinking anyone would see it. And then, was it you that got in contact with me? Yeah,

00:18then we got in contact with each other and a proper poster was made. And it just got

00:23sent out, retweets on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook. It's just been put everywhere.

00:30And then we made a big WhatsApp group so everyone could come with, to basically be in the same

00:35place. And then we found that, for me, certainly I live locally and, well, we all kind of do.

00:41And we had like over 300 people say that they were coming on their own, they were really

01:23hit me at once and I've just been kind of on and off crying since. And I lived about

01:29two hours away and came up today for this because I just, yeah, it's just, it still

01:36hasn't, doesn't feel real. It still hasn't sunk in.

01:59sad to see, like, he died so young and he was like such an inspiration.

02:09I'm J. Goodie's mum and she loved mine so much and I do. You know, the group is amazing.
