after three sacred days of gathering, holding, laughing, accepting, harmonising and loving he passed gently.”
“We are heartbroken but truly grateful.”
“More than anyone I’ve ever met, Dad was pure LOVE.”
“As he said himself only hours ago, he’s had a great time, it’s time to go easy, it’s time to go to Madge. And true love lives forever. ❤️”
