RIP Belinda - HWI pioneer

[Joe]

🌹 
Sad news today, friends, that our beloved Belinda Hutchison has passed away. Being from Christchurch, NZ, she was possibly Hayley’s first fan!  Belinda was instrumental in getting HWI and this forum off and running in 2003, and served in staff roles here for many years. Years ago she hosted a Hayley chat room which was so special. Belinda had visited the UK and met up with her fellow Hayley supporters. 

I would ask that you share a treasured memory you have of Belinda. I will share the link of this thread with her daughter Kim, who got married this month and her proud Mum was strong enough to walk her down the aisle!

Visiting with Belinda and her family was the highlight of our one and only trip to New Zealand in 2009.
We spent a very pleasant evening with Belinda and Shania, Barbara, Barry and Rodders . New Zealand hospitality at it's best.

Belinda was very much the keystone of Hayley's English speaking fanbase worldwide on several active forums and websites, we will be forever grateful for the early videos and information collected and taken by Belinda, today they are priceless. Belinda helped me acquire a copy of Walking in the air when they were very much in demand and packed it ever so carefully and sent it to me here in Ireland.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Belinda's family at this sad time, Belinda will be missed by many, worldwide.
