  4. To my most favourite of all uncles. You were always there for me over the years. Throughout the difficult times and the good times. I remember the many of times cutting up onions for the lions club and laughing at the others in side as they couldn’t handle the sting to their eyes. Your smiling cheeky face whenever you popped into the post office and saw me working..Your painting advise which never went astray and our family gets together with you playing your guitar and my mum Mary and Aunty Cath singing. They are memories I will never forget.
    You always had the knack at popping in for a cuppa when I most needed your company.
    Thanks for getting out your albums for me a few weeks ago and reminiscing about the old times again. I promise not to forget what you told me.
    I’m sorry I was not able to be there for your send off . As I have been isolating due to having Covid..
    You will always be a big part of my life. Rest easy now you have deserved it. Give our love to all those who have gone before you. Love Kathryn
    To Wayne, Cheryl, Linda and families our thoughts and prays are with you during this sad time,
    Love Kathryn Rod Kate and families
