Dear Grandad. I love you and miss you. Love Libby

A couple of weeks before I headed home to be with Dad before he died, a friend of mine sent me a text with Ephesians 6:10 - 'Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might.' Little did I know why she was given that verse for me. While being with Dad for those last few days was one of the hardest times of my life, I felt so very privileged to be able to share that time with both him and my family. Dad was one of the strongest men I know and I will miss him so very much. Love you Dad.

Mum - thank you for being my Mum. It's times like this that I realise how far away we are from you. I pray that God would also be your strength at this time. Love you lots.

Your youngest daughter, Maria

words are never enough but love and thoughts to all from our family to yours

Thank you, Ray. You introduced me to farm life, curries and the meaning of "extended family". As a young child at school, I wrote a story about my family - 9 of us but soon to be 8 because my sister was getting married. I very quickly learned I should not be subtracting one, I had to add one ! Thank you for being a caring and loving brother-in-law, and later, uncle to our children. All the best, Jen, as you take over the BBQ tongs. Love to you and your beautiful, very extended family. Chris, Russell, Melissa, Chelsea, Aimee and Michael

Aunty Jenny and my dear cousins - enormous hugs, love and support during this difficult time!!
Piri, Jamie & Josh McConnell xxxx

The angels have had one of theirs return. Peace be with you. xxx

I did not know your husband/father but i feel deeply for your loss. When death takes away any man of stature from your life great words are lost and the guideince and comfort he constantly provided you are gone with him. There is nothing to help your pain apart from the old one foot in front of the other. I would like to say that your daughter lynett is an amazing person, who goes out of her way to help anyone who would ask, she is creative and cleaver and makes beutiful warmy things for my family every year and I appreciate this and I appreciate you lynett. Find peace with each other and remember yor good strong people.

Thank you Dad for letting me take care of you those last few days of your life, for the funny things that you said, though I still say that 1+1=2 but for you 1 and 1 can be 3. For making sure that you ordered my tea though some of it, believe me you were better off not eating, maybe you knew. The Pen Challenge and this is something I need to tell other's all I can say is yes the pens were fully charged, it was all on at 6am and I WON haha. Mostly I want to say thank you for saying for the second time in my life that you are proud of me I'll remember that the most and the fact you didn't want me to leave the hospital. Hope you don't mind chilly with the flowers and watching crap on TV. The kids talk to you as I do and I know Malika and Kyan are going to miss you so much and your curries. I'm looking after mum as I promised you I would. I hope you gave Gug that hug and told her we loved her. Your oldest daughter Lyn

Well Uncle Scrooge where do I start??? Loved my childhood growing up visiting you on the farm. My lovely cousins that came to play. I remember many times just hanging out. As the years went by and I grew up you were never far from my heart. We shared a birthdate (give or take a day or two!!) You have 3 lovely children and many grandies n greats. I hope you see GUG up there and tell her we send our love with you. Be happy n c u again sometime. Love always your niece xoxo

Rest easy Grandad. I love you and miss you!!! Thinkin of you Grandma xox

All the best of kinds wishes to you all.

Dear Aunty Jenny and family...you have been in our thoughts through this difficult time. Sending lots of love and hugs. Sonya Macefield (Harris) and family xx

Grandad, you were such an amazing, loving, caring person that always had time for the family. I miss you so much! R.I.P. I love you.

I can't comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you're looking for strength from above.

I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen. To the Nager family and friends i am so sorry for your loss <3

Well, little brother we had some sad times and some great times together - such memories to treasure - yes, arguments as kids, getting into trouble, trying to pull the wool over Granddad's eyes at the bottle yard (haha) but he knew all along what we were up to! Will miss your calls on my birthday and Christmas but was lovely to be able to say goodbye to you even if it was over the phone. Say hello to Mum and give her a big hug. Love you and will never forget you. Love to all the family and we pray that you will find the peace and courage to face the coming weeks. xxxxxxxxxxx

R.I.P Grandad. You will forever be in my thoughts. Love and miss you always xxx

Uncle Ray I have lovely memories, I know you are now in peace and free from pain x

Rip grandad will always cherish tha times we got to have with you xoxo love and miss you always

Love and miss you always Grandad xoxo R.I.P
