Terrible news! Deepest sympathy to Aislinn’s family and friends. When she started her career in Perth I remember Aislinn as a fun-loving person in the agency.
Her blog dealing with her illness showed her great courage.
An absolute tragedy. My deepest sympathy to Aislinn’s family. Ais was a highly talented writer and an absolutely gorgeous person, loved by all who knew her.
My heart felt sympathy goes out to Aislinn’s family, she will be deeply missed. Will always remember all the great times we had together at MJ’s. Franca Pellegrini x

She was a wonderful person to work with at MJB&B in her early advertising days.
Please read Ais’s blog, it will show you what a generous,talented & courageous person she was.
I am thankful that I was touched by you Ais. Amanda J x
So sad. Can someone post her blog address if you know it?
Deepest sympathy to Aislinn’s family. A great talent, amazingly warm and fun person. Still think of all the laughs and stories during the MJB&B days. Will be sadly missed.

I only worked with her a few times, but I remember her as a very sweet person indeed. How sad that someone so kind and gifted should die so young.
Extremely sad news. I knew Aislinn only briefly, but it was obvious she was an incredibly happy, kind and talented person.
Condolences to her family and friends.
Update from Jemma at Helen Gory Galerie:
So far we have raised $30000 which is quite amazing and will go towards paying Aislinn’s treatment debts and also the Cancer support network of WA which was the charity she nominated. I will let you know the final amount once we have finished doing all the calculations over the weekend, it would be great if you could add the final total to Campaign Brief. The huge amount raised is testament to everyone’s generosity and love for Ais.
Awful. I admit I didn’t know Aislinn, but it is such sad news. Heart felt sympathy to her family.
So sad. Her blog is at: http://www.theyoungandthebreastless.com.au
There are many people that would like to pay their respects to Ais, particularly those who worked with her at MJB&B. If there is a service open to her friends who worked with her we would be interested in the details of this.
I only knew you for a short time at MJ’s but it was a great time. Sincere sympathy to all her family and friends… RIP Lou Evers
