Thinking of you all at this time. Fond Memories spent with Graeme and Thelma. Treasure the memories held deep in your hearts.
RIP Uncle Graeme, reunited with dear Aunty Thel at last. Thanks for everything you did for us as kids. Sorry I can’t get to Kerang for your send off but know Gerry, the kids and I will be watching on and celebrating a life well lived. We loved that you were so interested in our travels and enjoyed many long conversations about the places we travelled and experiences we had, usually whilst walking around the levy bank where we chatted the most. We also loved that you were interested in how our kids were doing and enjoyed their achievements and you often asked about Gerry’s family in the UK too, always interested in places outside of Kerang although you never actually travelled outside of Australia yourself. We’ll cherish memories of the good times and raise a glass on Monday. Thanks for being an awesome Uncle and always looking out for us. Lots of love and fond memories, Liz, Gerry, Luca, Em and Ava xxx
