An Important Message about 'Lisa'

Dear All,

This message is in regard to the child previously referred to as "Lisa Eastley" who was forced by Docs to have chemotherapy against her will, in an ordeal that started 2 years ago when she was diagnosed with cancer. During the past 9 months, her health had been relatively stable while being treated holistically by Dr. Eckard Roehrich who himself was targeted by the Medical Board just weeks after he stood up for the family's rights to choose the valid treatment of their choice for their daughter.

I wrote the story of this family's plight in an article entitled DoCS - Stealing our Children for Medicine. The (DoCS department attempted to put a gag order on the publication of this story and the Supreme Court ordered that I further de-identify the story. I complied with this order in December 2003).

A few weeks after Dr. Roehrich's efforts in Court he heard from the New South Wales Medical Board who took action against him which culminated in the suspension of his licence five weeks ago. The child, who looked well and vibrant just a few weeks ago, began to deteriorate when her regular treatments with Dr. Roehrich stopped. Her parents were forced to search interstate for a similar treatment but her condition meanwhile rapidly deteriorated.

This child's name can now be mentioned in public. Her name is Sarah Westley, the beloved 13-year-old daughter of Mark and Dianne, beloved sister to her siblings and adored granddaughter, beloved to all her close and loving family, extended family and friends.

Sarah has touched the hearts of thousands during her short life. Her parent's intention is to carry out one of Sarah's last wishes, to prevent other children from having to endure what she had to endure at the hands of the "welfare" authorities who prevented Sarah from spending her last years in carefree comfort at home on the farm with her family. Her last weeks were spent in another state instead of her familiar surroundings. Sarah was completely aware of this injustice and the cause of it, throughout her ordeal, and she made many forthright references about what she thought should be done about it.

Her family has now brought her home to rest in the family fold.

Her funeral will be held on Saturday October 30 at 11:30 on the family homestead at 332 Westley's Rd. Gloucester, NSW. Turnoff South of Gloucester. All who knew Sarah and all who come in a good spirit are welcome.

This message is conveyed with the kind permission of Mark and Dianne whose courage and strength of spirit has been an inspiring and humbling experience for all who have had the privilege of knowing them.

This message may be conveyed to those whom it may rightly concern.
