Just for a moment, stop and think what this world would be like if everyone was as sweet and gentle as Judith Durham.

[@johnrowley3721]

Now the carnival really is over! I have just seen and heard on the news tonight that Judith has passed away today aged 79. Quite a shock to know now that this beautiful woman with her wonderful voice won’t be with us anymore. Rest in peace, Judith, and thank you for all you have done for us in your life. May all our prayers and thoughts be with her family, and also, too, with Keith, Bruce and Athol, the three remaining Seekers, who are, no doubt, feeling the loss of their longtime friend and partner during this time. God bless you, Judith.

One off my favourite songs is Georgy Girl. It always reminds me off my mum who i never got to know due to jer earlu death. I don't know if was a favourite off hers but, i still love it today.

Judith Durham was a truly remarkable singer! The ‘voice of an angel’ is an apt description of this delightful lady. Sadly, Judith passed away a few days ago on the 5th of August, and although her death leaves the public in deep mourning, she has left us an amazing legacy of musical recordings. RIP Judith.
