_________________________________

To the love of my life Carol,

The moment that you left me,
my heart was split in two.
One side filled with memories,
the other with gratitude.

I thank you for your kindness
and the times we shared together.
All our special memories
that I’ll cherish now forever.

I’ll hold these memories in my heart,
as there they shall remain.
Though life goes on without you,
our bond will never wane.

Babe, my heart is truly broken, never to heal again. I love you always Carol.

– Pete xoxoxo

Mum/Nan, there are no words to describe the pain we currently feel. You loved us all unconditionally and were a constant support in our lives. We have so many cherished memories of good times spent at racetracks, Declan’s biggest fan cheering him along. The phone calls that started with “Hey Fred” or “Hey Darl”, and those that ended in a “love ya Poss”; we are going to miss the sound of your voice more than you will ever know, but will listen out for those kookaburra laughs that tell us you’re close by. There are no goodbyes from us, because wherever you are, you will forever be in our hearts.

Love always, Justin, Leah, Jaz and Dec.

  “NAN”

Loving Mother & Mother-in-Law to Adam & Amanda, Nan to Kyle & Tahlyshia, Friend to Charlie and Shannon, Great Nan to Ashton. Forever loved, Sadly missed, No longer in pain, no longer suffering, Rest now Nan… We love you so much, Reunited with her beloved son Brett after 27 Years.

Carol, thank you so dearly for everything you did for me, without you I would not have had a mum to turn to growing up. Time may pass and fade away, but the memory of you will forever stay.

Forever in our hearts, your loving stepson Brad, Amber, Crystal and Sarah.
