  13. Dear Jude Thankyou for being like a second mum to me my whole life and for looking after me as such growing up.
    We definitely hit the jackpot having your guys as neighbours, being an only child would have sucked without having Scott and Kylie to hang out with and you and butch to talk to and have fun with throughout the years also, so Thankyou from the bottom of my heart I wish cherish all the memories we have shared together aswell as my girls will coming and seeing you, raiding your fridge for cheese and cordial and chatting to you about school and sports.

    You fought this battle hard and with no complaints it’s not fair that this is how you had to leave this earth and this soon, but you are now in no more pain and reunited with Scotty and Daddy Butch and I’m grateful you are all together again, may you all look over Kylie and Griff at this sad time and wrap them in your love ❤️
    And to Kylie and Griff know that we love you and are so proud of how you cared for not only your mum till the end but your dad aswell they will be forever proud of the daughter and grandson they raised and loved and although the grief will be unbearable to start remember that strength and resilience that Jude had is also in both of you and together you can get through anything.

    Love Jess, Solo, Scarlett, Winter & Raven xx
