Dad, it has been 2 weeks since you passed, and we have thought of you every day since you left. Now the initial pain of your loss has faded, we can focus on the multitudes of happy memories you have left us with. You were an amazing father, husband, brother, son, friend and grandpa. Always treasured and never far from our thoughts, thank you for the beautiful legacy you have left. You will live on forever in our hearts, minds and of course in the next generations of our wonderful family.
You were the best Dad ever and gave Mum, Lisa and me the best life. I am so glad that you are no longer suffering but will miss you every day. To live on in the hearts, of those we love, is never to die. Lots of love Shona
Our love, sympathy, and 50 years of memories of a special friendship are with Helen, Shona, Lisa, and family, on the sad passing of Colin - a loyal and wonderful mate to us. Love always, Ann & Bill
