I have been thinking about you a lot lately and even though you were cantankerous and argumentive you presence was immense. We all knew by how kindly you treated animals that you had a gently heart bust just wasn’t sure how to relay that to the ones you loves, we just knew. You will always be with us xox
I am sorry I will be unable to make it there today to say goodbye. I am home looking after your son’s hobby (sheep, cows, pigs), I am sure you will understand, I shall light a candle for you and have a cup of coffee. Love Narelle xox

Dear Pop,
Im sorry I won’t be able to make it to say goodbye. I will light a candle for you and will be thinking of you x
Like Clayton I remember the feeling of excitement while waiting for you and Nan to arrive when you used to visit us at Christmas time and remember always feeling sad when you had to go home.
I remember being really little and sitting on your lap and telling you that you had a fat belly lol.
My most special memory was when Chloe was around 3yrs old and she was dancing and said “Dance with me poppy, dance with me” she took your hand and pulled you closer to the music. You danced and laughed with her. It was a gorgeous moment and will be one that will forever make my heart smile.
Rest In Peace Pop xxx

The days of guns and handcuffs,
a memory of the past.
The rod stands in a corner
awaiting bait to cast.The wood lathe turns no longer,
and chisels flat in rest.
No fast greens, jacks or roll ups,
and strive to play the best.His body is at peace now,
for him there is no pain.
In the company of loved ones,
until we meet again.
