A mirror of Lilly's now-deleted Twitter account from January 2018 until January 2019. Originally used the handle LillyMarieNZ, and then used STEAMnStilettos. Sorry, the links don't work, and I don't have any of the comments saved. If anyone has a copy with the comments, please let me know.

This contains what seems to be her final public photograph, with the usual cheerful surface. And later, her final public words.

Through 2018, Lilly cultivated a "science communicator" public persona. She wanted to encourage other people from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue education and work in science fields.

Modeling Lilly loved a glamorous image. Had done a bridal fashion runway job in Canberra, and aspired to more work in this field. She liked the contrast with being a scientist.

Here are two mirrors of now-deleted modeling site profiles, with some lovely photos.

"I don't believe in the existance of angels,
But looking at you, I wonder if that's true.
If I did, I would summon them together,
And ask them to watch over you."

--("Into My Arms", by Nick Cave - The final song played at Lilly's funeral, possibly at her own request.)
