"Happy Birthday Dad" xxx
Your physical body was no longer a fit garment for your wonderful spirit, so on the night of Thursday 16th July 2015, your spirit quietly laid your body aside, and Passed On to inherit and put on your Heavenly Garment, which was and is Eternally Yours. ALL that which is YOU lives on... everything that made YOU... YOU ... : Your love for me and our family, your commitment to us, you putting us first in your life .... that lives on Eternally. Everything in you to which I respond and everything in you which responds to me : is as Everlasting as Life Itself. Your love for me and our family... and our love for you... is Eternal - Now, Always, Forever. You are missed and loved by our whole family around the world. As for me .... Knowing how much and how deeply you love me is what keeps me going.... and you know : YOU were and always will be the Love of my Life.

Hi Dad,
I've been thinking about you today and talking about you with Mum, Sergio and the kids.
We all talk about you often. It's usually happy memories, but today it's the sad ones...
We always love you and miss you.

Dear Merle
THINKING OF YOU ON THIS POIGNANT DAY
There is nothing quite as sad as the moment when the person with whom you experienced your very happy life and unforgettable memories together becomes a memory too. Keeping that memory alive can bring you comfort.
I am thinking of you Merle and your devoted and most loving late husband Errol and my very precious brother, on your 60th Diamond Wedding Anniversary. You both in theory would have celebrated today in great style with family and friends far and wide with loads of joy and excitement all around. Unfortunately God had other plans for you and Errol. Don’t be too sad today dear girl as Errol would have liked it to be a Memorable Happy Day for you to embrace each year you both spent together with abundance of joy, happiness and contentment.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers today.
All our love
Daph, Dicki and all the family in the UK and Canada
xxxxxxx
60TH DIAMOND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY “6TH OCTOBER 2022” WOW !!
What an achievement it would have been Dearest Errol for you both if only
you were still alive but the Dear Lord had other plans for you and Merle.
Enjoy this great day in heaven with all the family around you.
Miss you loads

Darling Dad,
I thought of you today as as I worked from home with Sergio, with all of us in lockdown together again. Mum had planned to spend the day on her own in Sunbury, but that couldn't happen, so we left her alone with you for much of the day, except to check in on her. I looked at Jeff's photos on my own in the morning, and in the evening watched photo shows and videos of you with Mum. How much I still miss you!
As always, photos of you and the kids together remind me of just how much they have missed out on, growing up only with memories of you. Had you been around, I think you would have been Lucas' rock and Isabella's shield through so many of those hard times that we have experienced as a family. They would have been enriched by that, just as they are with Mum being a constant in their lives. But still, I know how much more Mum has missed out on without you.
I always love you. A phrase Isabella taught me when she was very young, when I was angry about something. I was humbled by it. I've used it with the kids every night since then. And now I say it to you too, as I say goodnight to this long day.
I always love you. Sandra

Tribute from Daphne…
My dear Errol
You must know how very lucky you are in your home in Heaven with peace, tranquility and happiness surrounding you with all our nearest and dearest around you. We on the other hand are all globally suffering with one of the worse pandemic this world has ever faced for a long period and thus so far no logical solutions coming forward not even from any of the top scientists, in order that we can see some hope of light at the end of the tunnel.
I cannot believe how fast 6 years have gone by since you left us all sad and heart broken and you shall always be missed very much by all your loved ones and in our thoughts each and every day. Please say a special prayer for us all in heaven to have our normal lives back again, something we all took so much for granted.
Thank you my dearest brother.
Aways your loving sisters

Just wanted to say - sometimes it ‘hits’ me - like today : just now - that I have been without you for over 5 years ... not had a meal with you, not gone shopping with you to Airport West, not planned a cruise or holiday with you, not gone to any social functions with you ... Yes I have got on with my life, I am happy ... but then suddenly realisation ‘hits’ me ... and sadness fills my heart and tears well up again. We had such a happy retirement life together.
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU ... I THINK OF YOU...
Yours Always & Forever... ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️

Sunday 6th September 2020 - Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day my love - you have our daughter and grand-daughter to celebrate with you.
You know we are all in lockdown - same as for Mother’s Day.
Nothing much to say except I have not seen Jeff or Sandra and family since 25th May - and as Stage 4 lockdown for Melbourne has been extended another 2 weeks, I will not see Isabella for her birthday - and because the next stage goes till end October, I will not see them for my birthday either. Not sure about Lucas’ birthday.
But it is better to go safe and slow so that we can be together for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day ... just maybe Boxing Day.
Enjoy your Father’s Day in Heaven.
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I THINK OF YOU...
Yours always and forever

Tribute from Daphne: 16.7.2020
Hello my dearest brother Errol. I cannot believe 5 years have gone by so very quickly. To Merle and family of course your passing away at each anniversary always feels like it happened only yesterday. This year your 5th Anniversary has been extremely heartbreaking and sad for Merle and family to cope with as they were unable to have a family get together to remember and celebrate your 5th Anniversary with a meal at your favourite restaurant. This they have been doing for the last 4 years and it was very hard for the family not to carry out this tradition for you this year again, solely due to the contagious global outbreak the whole world is at present experiencing. This outbreak has affected all our lives immensely. We hope to one day see a light at the end of the tunnel.
We all miss you terribly and will meet up with you one day.
Your loving sisters

Easter Sunday : 12th April 2020
Well my love ... a very different Easter all around the world. Easter services were all “streamed” because the world is in “lockdown”. I wonder how you and the rest of our family and friends are thinking about our 2020 Easter.
Sandra made sure our grandchildren saw me on video. Of course Jeff phoned. Also Angela, and Barbara. David made a really great lunch (mainly for my benefit!). Our State of Victoria ‘state of emergency’ has been extended till midnight of 11th May. Australia is doing well ... really well ... compared to so many other countries, that it is a good idea to keep us at this stage for now.
I just wanted to say I am thinking of you. I loved the dream I had of you last night.
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I THINK OF YOU...
Yours always and forever.

Hello Dad,
Happy birthday! I wanted to add a story, but I wasn't able to, so I'm leaving my thoughts in a tribute. I thought of you yesterday when things got too intense at home, and for the first time, I felt you hold my hand and give me a hug.
As you know, we're in lock down with the rest of the world. It has only been three weeks since I pulled the kids out of school and Mum left for Gisborne, but it has already become our new way of life. We have a very structured routine and the kids help daily with the dishes, the laundry and making up their beds. They're doing so well under the circumstances. I'm so proud of them. I must remember to tell them! Whilst life feels very small and close, there are positives to spending so much time with Sergio and the kids.
We all go once a day to the 'new' football reserve with Coco. Sergio reminded me yesterday that it used to be a wild grassland in front of the original football reserve. I stood there today, on your birthday, and remembered so vividly when you played football there with Lucas and Isabella. They were so young, 4 and 2, both pre-schoolers. I missed you then and wished yet again that they were not growing up without the magic of you.
Still, Mum and I keep your memory alive, both for ourselves and for them, in such a natural, daily way, that our shared memories of you stay clear, even as their very early original ones are more faded. Isabella sings Chicory Chick! And she knows it's your song. I'm so very proud to have passed such a foolish legacy on to her! And Lucas knows that when either he or I are whacking our bellies like a drum, we are channelling you!
Anyway, Dad, I hope you also had and shared great memories up there on your birthday.
We always love you and miss you.

My dearest brother Errol, I almost forgot to wish you this year for Christmas. Down Under Christmas is over but here it is still Christmas as it is 1:30pm.
I wish you and all our loved ones a lovely Christmas and a great New Year. Do you all have turkey for Christmas lunch or does Jesus and Our Lady make special pork vindaloo for you. I have not been very healthy for the last month or so and only just starting to feel slightly better recently hence the forgetfulness in wishing you. Hope you will understand. Cannot believe it is our 5th Christmas without you.
My love to all our dear loved ones not forgetting yourself and a big beer hug too. Miss you and love dearly as always.

Hi my love
I meant to put Jordan's touching email he sent to me on the 4th Anniversary of your transition to Heaven... Her it is...
"Hi AM,
I didn't want to WhatsApp you because it's quite late and I didn't want to wake you.
Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and the kids today.
I'm not quite sure why but this years date hurts more than the previous few, I think maybe the last few years I just repressed the day and tried to move past it as fast as possible, try not to think about it much maybe.
I just had a look at his page and saw a photo of you both sitting out the front of EB games in Westfield having a coffee and it brought back so many memories of when you and him picked me up and took me shopping while mum was away
I still really miss him AM, he was always there when I needed him.
Always lots of love,
Nephew.
xoxo"
I think it is a lovely tribute to you.

Hi Dad,
As always, I'm a night owl and writing this just before going to bed late.
I thought about you throughout the day and whilst reminiscing, I was struck by how big Lucas and Isabella now seem. They were so very young when you died, just starting kinder and school. Their direct memories of you are fading. That's natural, but it hurts me, because as always, I think about how much they and you have lost, in not sharing their childhood. But because we talk of you so much, our memories of you are very much a part of their lives. And some traditions are being passed on. Isabella can sing Chicory Chick, Cha La, Cha La and plays her bare belly like a drum! Lucas frequently considers what he thinks your views might be, when having a discussion with Nana and usually you and he share a view that opposes Mum's opinion! And when we took Mum with us to see a magic show, they assumed you were with her in spirit, possibly squashed in the back seat of the car with them!
We make the most of our memories and we naturally make you a part of our everyday life.
It's not always enough though.
We all still miss you. And of course, we always love you.

Errol my love... Daph is not able to access your Page, so she send her messages to me to enter....
Message from your sisters Daphne & Barbara :
My dearest brother Errol
4 very sad years have gone by very quickly without you around in all our lives. I know you are around always in spirit watching over your loved ones.
We all miss your lovely smile and love you a lot. I often wish it was possible for you to come down from heaven and pay us all a visit once in a while. How awesome would that be.
Your loving sisters

This morning I found out the meaning of the Sunflower...
This beautiful flower has shown up in my life everywhere consistently ...
The flower language of sunflower is faith, glory, pride, loyalty, love.
The meaning of sunflower is silent love.
With you now in a Heaven ... I thought how absolutely lovely that it means "silent love"... !!!
Yours always and forever
Xxxxxxooooooo

29th June 2015... You went into RMH ... Some dates live forever in my mind... All the details clear as ever... All I do is push them down or to the back of my mind ... Otherwise I could not live my life the way you want me to do.
I enjoy my life.... But I always miss you... And the hurt does not go away... I just live with these emotions as best I can.
Yours always and forever...

Happy New Year 2019 my love... I often wonder how you and the rest of our family celebrate in Heaven? As usual our family do their own thing for 31st ... And I think all of us did it in a quiet way. We watched the fireworks at midnight on TV and it was spectacular. Do you have fireworks in a Heaven? If you did it must be really super spectacular!
I gave our grand-children 2 really nice books each for New Years. One is a children's book called "Incredible You" ... They have one each.
Jeff has done such a great job on your Page, and we have now run out of photos. We knew this would happen eventually! And he put the Christmas back-ground on your Page which I Love.
Sandra and family are going to Miami for 10 days in March... Their first overseas holiday as a family of 4. All of Sergio's family will be there for a wedding.
David is working in Canberra on a one year contract, but will be down nearly three weekends a month and Darrin will do up one weekend a month.
Well my love... This is all my news for this New Year's Day.
Happy New Year to all our family.
I LOVE YOU ... I MISS YOU ... I THINK OF YOU...
Yours always and forever

Christmas 2018 Tribute from Daphne :
“My Dearest Brother Errol, Christmas is upon us once again and for the
4th year running all your nearest and dearest will be celebrating Christmas without you once again, but at least you will be with us all in spirit and in all our hearts. We do miss you and your cheeky smile.
This year was an awesome year for our family, as we had the privilege of your dear wife sharing three wonderful weeks with us in the UK which was an awesome surprise and then your generous family treated us to a fabulous trip to Edinburgh for 4 nights all expenses included where beautiful memories were created there never to be forgotten. We three young seniors ie Merle too had a blast there. Such beautiful memories will be treasured by the wonderful visit Merle made to us in the UK also. She sure is one braver confident lady at such a young age. I am sure you are extremely proud of her. All my family admired her will and confidence in making such a long trip all on her very own.
Hope you dear Errol along with all our loved ones will have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year too”.
Your loving sister Daphne in which Barbara joins in too”. xxxx

Hi Dad,
As you know, Mum flew out this evening to London, to see Aunty Daphne and Uncle Dicki for three weeks. I thought of you and wished with all my heart that you were going with her. But I know that that you are always by her side. I hope especially that the two old girls have time to share and laugh together. They both really deserve it.
I'm especially missing you tonight. I always love you, Sandra

I had the most amazing dream of you last night! So I am writing it on your Page ....
We were in some place which I did not recognise ... We were exchanging our Wedding Vows... After this we had a slow dance ... The way you used to dance with me.. Then we jived to Bill Haley's 'Rock around the clock' (!!!!) watched by the prayer group! We were really good in the dream! Then you and I had to run because you had to catch a tram... We got to the tram just as it was about to leave and you managed to get into it ... I stood on the side and watched the tram leave with you in it .... But I was not sad in the dream...
And my sleep broke... A really very nice dream to have of you just before our Anniversary and my UK trip.... You are telling me something wonderful ... That you are always with me ...
I LOVE YOU.... I MISS YOU.... I THINK OF YOU....
Always and Forever yours.... XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

“My Dearest Brother - how very sad it feels for your dear family to face your third anniversary today 16th July 2018. Each year should get slightly easy this time each year, but unfortunately it is still a struggle. We miss you still very much and most of all your cheeky gorgeous smile. Your dear wife is making a special trip to see me and my family in October this year which is awesome. We are so looking forward to her trip. How very brave of her doing such a long flight all on her own. Looking back over the years, who would have thought she would ever attempt to do a trip to the UK by herself. I am sure you are very pleased she is doing this and will be with her all the way. What a kind and thoughtful gesture. Big hug to you and all our dear family in heaven. Your loving sister Daphne. Barbara joins in this message too.”

Hello Dad,
I kept busy today, like Mum, I suppose. But last night after your special lunch, and again today, once the kids were asleep, I remembered and missed all that we've lost without you here. Especially life in Romsey and more time for you and the kids. Your memories are very much alive for Lucas and Isabella, because we speak of you naturally and often. I still wish you were here with us. How wonderful you would have been in helping with Lucas' home-schooling! I think you would have both loved it.
Help us to have those quiet moments when we can feel you and God nearby.
I love you and miss you, Sandra.

Today is the 29th June 2018 .... three years ago today you made your third and last trip to the hospital by ambulance... in a matter of 6 months you made three trips in the ambulance... it is surprising how those memories are still fresh in my mind even three years later. This time when you went in, I stayed at the hospital all night, just outside the ICU, and for the first time you did not want me to leave you and go home... and I reassured you that I was just the other side of the sliding doors of the ICU. The hospital staff brought me a pillow and blanket to make me comfortable. Tears well up... but I am a bit more in control of my meltdowns... I know you would not want me to keep having these... i will be planning your Anniversary Lunch for Sunday 15th June ... anytime the 16th June falls during the week, I will have the Lunch on the Sunday or Saturday closest to that date. Well my love, I am waiting for David to collect me for the weekend.
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I THINK OF YOU... always and forever yours....

Today ... 3 years ago you and I spent our last day and night in Romsey, along with Jeff. None of us ever thought it would be our last day and night together in Romsey. This morning brought back memories ... and tears along with those memories. I am getting a bit stronger... tears well up but no emotional melt downs. I have had a lot being done in the last few weeks... you already know about these things, but I like to write them onto your Page... I had a cataract procedure done on my left eye... and in about 6 weeks or so the right eye will also be done. I have had tests done for my hearing... and I will be fitted with hearing aids next week. So you see... it would have been so good to have had you with me... When I went in for my eye procedure... my blood pressure shot sky high... but this was only because memories of you going into hospital came flooding back to me. My blood pressure is OK... I had it checked out. Well love of my life... I will write again tomorrow....
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I THINK OF YOU... always and forever yours...

Happy Easter 2018 love of my life...
I attended an Easter Praise and Worship Service at the Goonawarra Hall this morning.. It was really good ... You would have enjoyed it! Organised by the Maori community. I was the only non-Maori there! So they made me most welcome. All the songs were in their language which did not matter because it sounded just wonderful with many instruments... It was a very loud celebration with great singing. I have not enjoyed something like this is for a long time. They gave me a hug and a kiss when I was leaving and thanked me for coming. It was very nice way to celebrate Easter.
I wonder how you and the rest of our family are celebrating Easter in Heaven... I can imagine there must be a lot of praise and worship!
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I THINK OF YOU...

31st March 2024 : Easter Sunday & Sandra’s Birthday
March 31
Happy Easter my love - to you and to all our Family in Heaven.
It has been a very enjoyable day … we gave Sandra her Birthday Gifts which she loved!
Later Jeff, David and Darrin came over around 1.00 p.m. for Lunch, and David made a huge cake! It was really good.
We had an Easter Egg Hunt which was fun for all. Lunch was a lot of very nice starters, followed by fried chilli chicken with noodles, along with roast chicken in bread rolls, and a lovely salad. Later we sang Happy Birthday, and enjoyed the cake with ice cream and cream.
David and Darrin have just left to go back for the dogs, Jeff is here watching Dr Who with the family.
I have come up to my room to “chat” with you on your Page.
I am sure Heaven is Celebrating with Great Joy the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I LOVE YOU… I MISS YOU… I THINK OF YOU…
yours always and forever
Happy Easter

Well my love - another month has gone past.
I am in Gisborne with the dogs - David and Darrin are in Korea for three weeks. They return on the 24th March. It has been a quiet time - I have done a LOT of Journaling - writing and decorating the pages of my Journals. I find writing and decorating my Journals very Therapeutic. A lot of Kindle reading and watching stuff on my iPad.
Sandra and I had our appointments with the rheumatologist on the 29th February. It was a long drive there … results for both of us were good : nothing major or serious. We are both still in pain and stiffness- this will ease for me with the Vitamin B injections, and for Sandra with exercises and physiotheraphy.
Jeff came up last Sunday and had roast beef, roast poand Yorkshire pudding. I made him potato chops, lentil burgers and mince to take home. We watched a good movie together. It was really so nice to see him.
Sandra wants to come up this weekend- I have told her I am fine, and D&D are back next Sunday. Everyone has been in touch with me daily!!! Including David! He has texted, videoed, sent photos.
Daph and I had a video chat this week and it was good chatting with each other. Jeff has put a lovely photo on your Page of you and Daph when we were in Bali for their 50th Anniversary. Lucas had some exams on this week and also next week.
Isabella often send me emoji hearts texts!
This year Sandra’s Birthday is on Easter Sunday - last year your birthday was on Easter Sunday. I have been checking out restaurants for your Birthday Lunch which will be on Saturday 6th April. We may go back to Digger’s Rest Winery again … it was a really nice place. But I am still hoping to find somewhere else just as nice.
Not sure what Sandra and Sergio will do for Sandra’s Birthday. David asked if I knew - I told him I don’t know.
Daph is trying to arrange something for Dicki’s birthday- she is finding it difficult to find a suitable place.
I have ordered Sandra’s Birthday Gift from Amazon - it will arrive on 24th March (International).
Our Valqui Family and I exchange Easter Eggs - I have to order/buy my Easter Eggs. The boys don’t want Easter Eggs. I sent the 4 grandnieces some Fun Easter stuff from KMart - I asked Roxy and Shane to give the box to the girls for Easter. Shiloh is making her First Communion on the 19th May - Angela will be so happy. We will all attend whatever is being arranged. It is a Special Occasion.
I miss you. When I was scrolling through my iPad two Elvis Presley song came up - “The Wonder of you” and “If I can Dream” which was played at your Funeral. Of course I was in tears. I was OK again … memories will always be there no matter how many years go past. You still “send” me Sunflowers in amazing ways!
Well … that is all my “chat” for now!!
I LOVE YOU… I MISS YOU… I THINK OF YOU….
Yours always and forever xxxxxxxxxxoooooooo❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I am in Gisborne with the dogs - David and Darrin are in Korea for three weeks. They return on the 24th March. It has been a quiet time - I have done a LOT of Journaling - writing and decorating the pages of my Journals. I find writing and decorating my Journals very Therapeutic. A lot of Kindle reading and watching stuff on my iPad.
Sandra and I had our appointments with the rheumatologist on the 29th February. It was a long drive there … results for both of us were good : nothing major or serious. We are both still in pain and stiffness- this will ease for me with the Vitamin B injections, and for Sandra with exercises and physiotheraphy.
Jeff came up last Sunday and had roast beef, roast poand Yorkshire pudding. I made him potato chops, lentil burgers and mince to take home. We watched a good movie together. It was really so nice to see him.
Sandra wants to come up this weekend- I have told her I am fine, and D&D are back next Sunday. Everyone has been in touch with me daily!!! Including David! He has texted, videoed, sent photos.
Daph and I had a video chat this week and it was good chatting with each other. Jeff has put a lovely photo on your Page of you and Daph when we were in Bali for their 50th Anniversary. Lucas had some exams on this week and also next week.
Isabella often send me emoji hearts texts!
This year Sandra’s Birthday is on Easter Sunday - last year your birthday was on Easter Sunday. I have been checking out restaurants for your Birthday Lunch which will be on Saturday 6th April. We may go back to Digger’s Rest Winery again … it was a really nice place. But I am still hoping to find somewhere else just as nice.
Not sure what Sandra and Sergio will do for Sandra’s Birthday. David asked if I knew - I told him I don’t know.
Daph is trying to arrange something for Dicki’s birthday- she is finding it difficult to find a suitable place.
I have ordered Sandra’s Birthday Gift from Amazon - it will arrive on 24th March (International).
Our Valqui Family and I exchange Easter Eggs - I have to order/buy my Easter Eggs. The boys don’t want Easter Eggs. I sent the 4 grandnieces some Fun Easter stuff from KMart - I asked Roxy and Shane to give the box to the girls for Easter. Shiloh is making her First Communion on the 19th May - Angela will be so happy. We will all attend whatever is being arranged. It is a Special Occasion.

Lucas : 14th Birthday
November 10, 2023
Hello my love
Today 10th November 2023 Lucas celebrated his 14th birthday!! I don’t know where the years have gone. He and Isabella have grown so quickly. There are no longer Birthday Parties for them - just ‘something’ with their friends.

I remember the night he was born - so premature (as we know he was actually due in January) - but with Sandra having pre-eclampsia and being diabetic, her doctor felt the safest option was early delivery. You and I, along with Jeff, David (he flew down immediately), Sergio’s Aunt Rosa and his cousin Chucho - we were all at the hospital - in the waiting area. At long last we were called to go up, and Sergio was waiting for us - we took turns to go in to see Lucas - he was in an incubator and looked so small … we all had our phone cameras on!
When we finally left the hospital, you, David and I on our way to Romsey - the rest of the family going back to their homes - we phoned Angela and went to Atwood first. Angela got so excited seeing the photos of Lucas on our phones. Angela and I both got a bit teary .. we were all so thankful everything worked out safely for mother and baby.
When I look at Lucas now - I am still amazed at the total change in him. It wasn’t gradual over a period of time - it just happened so suddenly … Miracles do happen!!

BTW … you know I had my pneumonia vaccine yesterday - I did rather well … It lasts 10 years - more than enough time for me!
We have returned home dinner at a very nice Mexican Restaurant Watergardens - the staff were so good. Jeff, David and Darrin came - Jeff from across the city with a lot of traffic on Friday night. Jeff and Lucas chatted all evening!!! Lucas got a Marvel Play Station which is the highlight for his birthday.

On a different topic - Charlie is in hospital- he has had two stents put in, with another scheduled in a week’s time. So Sandra and his family are all concerned about him. I sent him a lovely pop-up “Get Well” card which was delivered today.***
That is me for now.
I LOVE YOU … I MISS YOU … I THINK OF YOU …. Yours always and forever Xxxxooooxxxxoooo❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
