Dear Dad, I feel like a piece of my life has gone that can never be replaced. You were an amazing man and I will miss you terribly.

I ll miss everything about you from our conversations to going to the footy with you, something we ve done all my life.

I love you dad and you will always be in my heart. Your loving son, Maurice. xxx Dear Norm, Thank you for being the best father-in-law in the world. You were kind, honest, loving and a truly devoted family man. All that met you, loved you. I am so grateful for the relationship we shared, in particular, while you lived with us. Thank you for everything but especially the love and time you gave Lachlan and Monique. Nothing was too much trouble for you, even when you were unwell. Watching you suffer was heart wrenching but my precious memories will prevail, in time. I will miss you so much. All my love, Liliana. xxx Dear Nonno, Thank you for being our precious Nonno and for your unreserved love. We are incredibly sad that you are gone but very fortunate that you were OUR Nonno.
