To Diane, Gordon, Alan and families, our family wishes to extend our sincere sympathies on the loss of your father and step mother. We were fortunate to have Bill in our lives and grateful that Bill and Mum found each other and enjoyed 26 years together. The vows they made through sickness and health held true until the end. They will both be dearly missed.
Your Condolence To Kay, Tony and Jenna. We will never forget Bill and our Christmas breakfasts at your home. He was a kind and thoughtful gentleman who always had an interesting story to tell, a warm smile and a love of life. He and Marie were a devoted couple and it was always a pleasure to be in their company. We shall miss them both.
