The parents of a stillborn daughter have discovered a heartwarming note left at her grave on the anniversary of her tragic death.
Indianna Gillgoly was stillborn and buried on January 6, 2016 at Caloundra Cemetery on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland by her devastated parents Nicole and Chris.
The couple often visit their daughter’s grave to leave flowers, and when they visited after the Christmas holidays they found a surprising note.
‘I often come to say hello, I don’t know you but I am so sorry for your loss, love, Bec,’ the note read on the outside of an envelope, accompanied by a bunch of flowers.

Inside the envelope was a card reading: ‘Merry Christmas tiny angel, love Bec (a stranger)’.
Nicole Gillgoly told the Sunshine Coast Daily reading the note brought her to tears.
‘I just think nobody can love your child as much as you do. Nobody can understand how we feel,’ she said.
‘But to think that somebody, a stranger, had taken the time to write a note, lay flowers and acknowledge our daughter, that was really special to us.’
Nicole’s immediate family were the only ones to see little Indianna before she was buried.
‘A stranger showed us she cared and I think she needs to be acknowledged.’

Mrs Gillgoly said she hoped to meet ‘Bec’ and buy her a cup of coffee.
‘Bec seems so kind and thoughtful, such a sincere person… and if she wanted to, I would love to meet with her, talk with her.
‘She seems to have her own story to tell, and if she wanted to tell me I would be there for her.’
