Also in the image area of the website was a photo she had uploaded of her and Stephanie made up as clowns. Here description of the photo gives us some insight into how close the girls were in life.
"Friends that are not appreciated by any1," she wrote. "Considered freaks, they weep in sorrow. Yet they are happy that they have each other. Bitter despaired clowns."

Stephanie Gestier and Jodie Gater |
Not only were the girls best friends, they were also both members of an all girl band they created and named Bitchy. The band has a music page on MySpace, and the description reads:
"We love to scream and its what we do best. We talk in funny voices when we're happy. Pretending to sing is one of our fave things to do. Mess with us and you'll get sticky. We live in a small town but we always find fun but still manage to get in trouble. We don't know a lot, but we like it play it that way. Jump on us, piss in our mouth and say you love us or f—k off. You break the bra strap you finish the job. Free snack in every beard yum yum taste the crumbs. Party party party piss piss piss and don't forget the watermelon!"
Jodie and Stephanie belonged to several other websites on the Internet, but most of them were similar to the ones already covered here. The girls had an obvious fascination with death, and they both appear to have suffered from bouts of depression that apparently went unnoticed by both friends and family members.
Yesterday Southern Cross Broadcasting read a letter attributed to Stephanie's mother. In this letter, she describes how her daughter was found and questions why she took her own life:
"Stephanie, why didn't you tell me you were so upset? Why didn't you just come home?" her mother wrote. "You had only just turned 16. You were always such a quiet girl who spent time listening to music and surfing the Internet. There is nothing that couldn't have been sorted out. You were my only child and can never be replaced. Bye bye my little girl."
Additionally, yesterday, a person known only as Kristy left a message on the girls' music blog that pretty much sums up the whole story:
"What a tragedy, I find myself imagining these two girls planning their demise, standing on a branch, taking that final leap. What goes through someone's mind to make such a permanent decision? What could have been of these two lives?"
