Michael HERLIHY Obituary
22.3.1995 – 16.1.2016
Ten years yesterday. Tragically took his own life. Michael was the youngest of the family. He had two older sisters and five big brothers. He was Mum's favourite - her little baby boy - and everyone knew it. He loved duck shooting and spent many quiet hours waiting for the ducks to come in. He followed family footsteps as a keen sheep shearer and took pride in his work. Michael had a gentle side. He loved wearing the colour pink, which by chance was Mum's favourite colour too. It suited him.
Not a day goes by where he is not missed.
He lives on in our memories, our stories, and our hearts.
Loved always and forever.
Dad, Mum (deceased), Paul, Mark, Craig, Tim, Dean, Rochelle, Emma, our partners, and all your nieces and nephews.
