Hi everyone,
We have arranged a memorial site for Andy at the Geelong Memorial Park & Crematorium in Burvilles Road Armstrong Creek.  The exact location is Crescent Garden - SG - Bed 2 - Position 158 (GMP-CRES-SG-2-302-158). When you drive into the Park you turn left at the roundabout and park in the car park on the right hand side.  Walk across the road opposite the car park down the gravel path closest to the entrance and head to the first garden bed on the left.  The girls and I felt this was the perfect spot as its so peaceful and is surrounded by native plants & birds.  
Mandy, Taylah & Carli

On 17 November 2020, Andy was admitted to hospital following his first round of chemotherapy.  That same day Samuel Johnston was fundraising for Love Your Sister and was holding the event at Rocklea Farm.  Our good friend Nathan Scott was singing that day and we had jumped onboard to get as many friends there as we could in light of Andy's recent diagnosis.  Better still, Andy gave Nathan his Cole Clark guitar to play.  That morning, Andy couldn't get out of bed and finally conceded we head into emergency at The Epworth.  We thought Andy would be re-hydrated and that we would be sent on our way.  We we adamant and quite vocal that we had an important event to get to that afternoon, however on Dr's advice Andy was admitted (he stayed for 10 days) and I stayed by his side.  Rumour has it that it was an emotional day for all our friends and family who still went and Andy was touched by it all but so devastated that we didn't get there.

In true Nathan fashion we received this message from Samuel Johnston this morning.  For those of you who don't know, Sam lost his sister Connie to cancer and has been on a mission to raise much needed funds throughout her journey and beyond.  His mission, "to go to town, for two years, to build a critical mass, for personalised treatment for every new cancer patient, whatever the cancer, wherever they live".  He is a a Gold Logie winning actor and Australian of the Year 2018.  You can see why........

Well Andy where do I start?....
The Batchelor pad in Bembridge Crt (Nottingham) It sure was!! A wall devoted to empty beer cans stacked high, a motorbike in bits in the hallway & two crazy but loveable cats Sophie Cretin & Arnold.  We had plenty of laughs along the way starting right back when we all went to see the rather rude but highly entertaining comic “Chubby Brown”. We met him afterwards at an Indian restaurant. Oh Andy you could cook a mean curry, especially those camping trips up on the Murray River. Every Boxing Day a crowd of us couldn’t wait to get set up at our usual spot for the week at “The Log” site in Echuka. Such fun! 
“Bungawarra” (Anakie) Yours & Mandy’s fabulous home for countless get togethers, dress up party’s, & Carole’s 60th birthday party. Say no more!!  Watching the sun go down over the Anakie Hills with a drink in hand sitting on the old railway cart or round the fire playing top row bottom row eating jelly snakes & talking bollocks!   There was occasionally a new addition to the Woolley fold when Mandy had been out driving, I’m sure she’d become a lamb rustler! Re-homing lambs that had strayed a little too far, she’d pick them up & take them home! Lambert, Squinty to say the least plus more! Your mint garden was growing! Lol What a menagerie with Sophie doggo & Simba the cat. Now reunited with your devoted golden girl she’ll be by your side.  
It was such a honour to be one of your bridesmaids in your wedding & what a fabulous day it was!.   Taylah & Carli then came along, your beautiful girls, Ive had the privilege to watch them grow into two gorgeous young ladies.  
You was a master of Nick names, every friend had one!   The biggest of smiles & infectious laughter. But what stands out the most is the devotion & love for Mandy, the love for life and the eternal love for your girls!. 
Gone way too early... so with heavy heart I’ll say goodbye (Ta-rah me duck)

Shine Bright!
