25th April 2023. Anzac Day.
I woke this morning to showers of rain this morning. But at 9.00am the showers eased, clouds parted & the sun tried to make it's appearance, as those who were assembling for the march down the main street.
A great crowd assembled to clap on those who joined in the parade.
Korea lead the parade followed by Vietnam. Sadly Len the ranks are becoming fewer & fewer.
But it is a joy to see the local schools putting in great efforts by encouraging students from prep to high school & teachers marching.. also the school bands participating. These young ones are the future & will keep the Anzac tradition alive & it's history alive.
Something to be well & truly proud of.
After the march was over & on returning home, the sun disappeared behind clouds & light showers formed once again.
Love ❤️ & thoughts to you Len  from your younger sister Gail

My dearest Len, 10 years have now passed since tears flowed, & hearts broke. My dear older brother had passed away. I still think of you & miss you so much.. l find myself having a tear or two when l hear particular songs / music that you liked or some old TV programs. I find myself smiling & then of course tears again.
Love you Len more than you could possibly imagin.. ❤️

Merry Christmas Len, Tried to place a message earlier but, again lost track of time. Bill then Darry phoned up with Christmas greetings. Then Julie a friend dropped in for her usual visit. I went & had a lay down due to an injury l have to my elbow & the medication lam on puts me to sleep. Next thing l am getting woken up by Tracy my NDIS Support carer to check upnon me & pass on her Christmas wishes. So l had a few other things to catch up with. My Christmas is another quiet, relaxed one. But l do miss the type of Christmas times we had as kids. Sometimes at home & then sometimes down at Nana's. But they still stand out in my most happy times. Christmas now seems so sad lonely it does not seem to hod any special memories anymore. I miss Dad^ Mum & you. Plus other Aunts ,& Uncles those o es we would always catch up with around Christmas time. The chatter & laughter o adults & ourselves with our cousins. They know are just memories that echoc around me at this time of year. I am only pleased that l still have happy pleasant memories to think back on.
So l wish to pass on my Chiristmas thoughts to you. Miss & love ❤️ you until we do meet again.
Your loving younger sister Gail.

Apologies for not writing so much sooner. But... I did not forget it would have been your birthday.
I would never not think of you.
Love you so much. And miss you more than you could ever realise .
I have been busy with moving house what a big job it is. Especially when you lose your balance & fall against stacked packed boxes & cracked a couple of ribs. Certainly slowed me down with that happening. I'm slowly getting myself organised...
Love ❤️ to you my big brother for now ,& always.
Your loving younger sister Gail

My Dear Len, time has sneaked up on me again.!!!!
Nine years have come & gone since you passed away. 
I miss  you still so very much. Special days, events bring back memories. It is nice to smile & think about them, but then at times a tear or two will sneak out.
But all l can tell you my big brother is you are always in my heart ❤ & my thoughts.
With you living overseas you were missed so very much.
When we did get to speak on the phone it was always a brief moment, as l was anxious to pass you on to mum so she could talk with you. Those minutes were so precious to be able to hear your voice. But left me feeling sad that
I only wish that l had told you just one last time how much you were loved. 
Love you Len.

My Dearest Len,
A belated birthday thoughts from you.... not that l could forget,
l just see tracked with so many things of late. This time was my 2nd attempt hip operation. The same that l broke just over 2years ago.
I had on your & Deneils birthday. The operation took 6hrs . I am still not up & walking alone as yet. Plus only just started on having physio. Now the hard work starts.
But this is your time for birthday thoughts & wishes. 
Some how August always attracts other things that happen on or around this time.
But l am certainly sure knowing & celebrating your birthday along with Deneil means a great deal to me.
I love ❤ you Len with everything l can give & send to you. No matter what or where l am...
I am sending you all the belated ❤ thoughts love hugs & kisses to you.
I love you my big brother.

My darling big brother, another year passes (8years now) still it feels like only yesterday we heard of your passing. We all struggle on days when something is said or done. Especially an event or places we went as kids, holidays etc. OR music, a song, movie, or a program on T.V. triggers a smile, or a tear, tears.
You are never & will never ever be forgotten. We are family, my big brother, l love you, miss you, cry tears for you more than you could imagine...

Merry Christmas to my dear big brother.
I will be thinking of you during the Christmas period.
Casting my mind back, way back, Like the time you & big brother Bill had found the idea Christmas tree but needed Dads help to cut & collect it.
Waiting patiently for dad to come home from a days work & in hope of still having day light.
Whoopie dads home & happily off we go on foot to get the Christmas tree. With dad carrying the tommie hawk axe.
You & Bill show dad where the chosen tree is positioned. To dads surprise,!?. oh okay this is tricky.
The chosen tree is on the very edge up on the river bank of our local river. But dad not wanting to disappoint. Surveys the suitation, & in arms reach was able to secure a hold of the tree & a few swings of his small axe. Down came the tree, & down goes dad landing in the river.
But hey, it was the best Christmas tree ever. One that my 2 brothers remember well. As it was their adventure of finding it and dads adventure of collecting and swimming for it. As for me, hey l was only 5 or 6 years of age
I've grown up knowing of the adventure but still have visions of dad in the river & 2 brothers carrying the special Christmas tree home.
Merry Christmas thoughts to you big brother

Love, thoughts, memories.
I always have thoughts of you, my big brother.
I sense you are often close by, cannot explain how or why, just that feeling.
Your presence lifts me up and helps me out of my sadness. As if you have taken me in your arms given me a cuddle & whispered to me, it's okay l'm here for you.
Len, my brother/angel.  l know & understand, & miss you so.

Time goes marching on & somehow l am getting left behind.
Although l think of you so many many times especially your memorials & birthdays.
And even though l write this several days late doesn't mean l forgot you, l didn't. I wouldn't. Your my big brother.
I love you just the same as l have always. My heart breaks evey time when l visit, but this is why l put this page up for you, a place where l could come & talk to you & shed a tear. 
You may be gone in a way where l can never see, hold or touch you, but never from my thoughts or heart.
I also know that Bill & Darry & families all love & miss you also.
Love to you my ( our ) brother.

Another year has passed where you would have celebrated aonther birthday along with your niece. Can never forget your birthdays. So many times something eg music, brings special memories of you.Singing along to your records. No one hearing the music due to you wearing ear phones. But you are happily singing along or playing along with your jews harp. Just another memory of you l treasure.So many special ones that no one can take away from me.
Miss you more than you can even imagine.

Today is Anzac Day. I feel guilty for not getting to the Dawn Service plus going down to watch the march. Been a very long time since l have missed them. Due to my mishap & breaking my ankle l just have not been up to doing anything of late. I feel so guilty,but decided to come & pass my thoughts to you & Dad this way. I miss you & Dad dearly, barely a day goes by when you are in my thoughts it amazes one how easy it is Sometimes a program on TV, music, a song. It is a great comfort to be able to have these memories.
Love you always. Your loving sister Gail.

Tomorrow Dearly missed Brother will be Anzac Day,your nephews,Cam&Matt,myself and Simon are going to the Redcliffe Dawn Service. Together we will Remember All the service men and women and animals that have fought for our beautiful country and for the ones that never returned, Lest we Forget.Then we will go to the Garden of Remembrance at Pinaroo Cemetery and place a poppy in yours and Dads plaques. I'm so Sorry that I don't write in this beautiful memorial site that our sister had made for you,I have great difficulty knowing that you are no longer here with us the pain in my heart is something that I just can't stand.I miss talking to you on the phone,the way we use too but in saying that I don't drink anymore,so that's a good thing,I hardly play the music that I use too either as that reminds me of you and Bill.I think of you and miss you oh so very much,but I find that if I can think of you still living with your beautiful family in Thailand,it somehow makes me feel a little better,I know that your not there,I know deep down that one day,I hope that we will see each other again,I love and miss you so much.I trust in God that must have needed you more than us,and I believe that you are with Mum & Dad.Hopefully we will again be a family in another life,love you,mum& dad with all of my heart and soul.Goodbye for now,beautiful angels.God Bless.xxxx

So many words that were unsaid, how dearly l loved you. Miss you so much my big brother. Loved & missed by your sister Gail

Birthday Wishes as I think of you today. It is so easy to think of you this day, as it is also your nieces / my daughters day too. So many things I wish that I had done with & told you, but you were so far away, oh how it breaks my heart to know I will not be able to hold you again. I do think of you so often. Just know your younger sister loves & misses you. One year has just gone since our loved mum passed away.Our Dad & Mum & You are now together, no longer in pain but at rest & peace.

Johnno old mate,I have never forgiven myself for writing my car off and you losing your cigarette lighter.To see you leaning against the upside down car grieving is something I will never forget.The fact that I almost got life in the Giru "Super Max" is nothing by comparison.I can only ever remember laughing with you old mate and that memory won't change.

I am sorry it has taken so long to hear of your passing.
As your BK for a few years Johnno LA, you were the atypical 'Aussie Digger'.
Bombardier one day, Gunner the next but a true professional on the gun. It was an honour to serve with you.
May you rest in peace.
"It is a far,far better rest that you go to than you have ever known"
