Thoughts

So many wonderful memories - one of our greatest is our visit to yourself , Marjorie & Bonnie in Australia .No BBQ will ever be the same! We all had such a great time together and such laughter & at Melbourne Zoo. From the minute I could write ✍️ we exchanged letters most weeks to & from England & Oz over many years and valued how important keeping in touch was and making time for one and other. Many of my gifts growing up used to have a pack of pre paid airmail letters from Mum & Dad ,it was the best gift as we never felt like distant family, just a letter away. All the million of hours I had to sit & watch VHS video recordings you used to send to Gareth & our boys of drag racing & wresting you, were often in exchange for many photographs of everyone, which you both loved to receive. In most recent years, most mornings I would get a text about the weather, teachers strike , lotto or anything else on news. Used to say John woke me early with one of THOSE text - how I now miss one of THOSE texts now! You are missed by many , loved by many and want to Thank you for being you, your support, love, and over many years -your Time X Rest in peace uncle John x Love Tanya & Family x

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
