You have been my everything in fighting this these last few years and I never saw this day coming, so strong was my belief we could beat this.

    Where do I begin. You came into our family as a 13 year old boy and we raised as our own. We guided you to the best of our ability and were so proud to witness the man you became. I have so many memories I will cherish forever.
    You fought this battle with such determination to not let it beat you. Your memory will continue through your boys and grandchildren, may you guide them from above. I have relief knowing you are reunited with your parents and Strop.. Please watch over all of us and give Darryl a big hug from me..
    Rest easy Bart no more suffering …Love always Angie xx

    Life is so cruel, knowing you would pass, never really hit home until you were gone. It didn’t make it any easier. The only relief I had was that you no longer suffered and that you are now at peace.
    I am so blessed to have had you in my life like a brother growing up. I will never forget our memories together and gee whizz I will miss your infectious laugh.
    Make sure you two “Hoonan” boys send the ducks our way and watch over us.
    Love ya mate so much, Give dad a big smooch for me and tell him we love him.

  19. Shane.. it’s so hard to find the right words.
    Over the last 25 + years you were like a big brother to me.. and I have so many memories that I’ll now hold on too, that will bring both a tear and a smile. Your energy and laugh were infectious!
    Over the course of your battles, you took it all on with determination to try whatever you could to beat it.. and through it all.. always found a way to laugh and let your true cheeky self show through.
    I know that you know.. how loved you were by us all and how much we’ll miss you, and will always let the memories of times shared with you live on.
    My dear sister was your ‘sweets’… and I hope you can rest easier knowing that we’ll take good care of her through this time and always.
    Loving you and missing you always.
    Brooke, Paul, Azz and Tyler.
