... and a note to Brett

From Sharon

I have been looking at lots of photos tonight ... these are terrific shots I didn’t remember

You are and always will be Tanya and Brett’s wonderful Dad
You gave them both what they needed to be who they are ... fierce unconditional love

***************************************************************************

"From Tanya"

The North Cairns Post Office stocked and sold these items

Sharon was 'positive' that Tanya would have bought one for me ... so she did it on her behalf !!

*****************************************************************

*****************************************************************

Sharon's sisters, Lesley Richards (Adelaide) and Fiona Pearce (Perth), plus Andria Rowe are here at the moment

We took two bottles of Champagne from Tanya's home
One is for her Birthday and the other was for today

So at the 'Stroke of Midday' we'll be having a drink to the best two kids a father could hope for !!

!!...TO...TANYA...AND...BRETT...!!

.

Andria ... Lesley ... Sharon ... and Geoff and Fiona are reflected in the window !!

From Jacqui Searson

Hi Geoff, this one's for you
I hope tomorrow is not too hard and that you get to remember all the special times you had with Tanya
And if the website is anything to go by, there were plenty of them !!
I remember Tanya talking about you when we were away
I seem to recall she said you had a quirky sense of humour and were always sending her funny messages that made her laugh
Gosh, she loved her family
No doubt she will be with you tomorrow as I'm sure she is every day

Reply from Geoff
Really, really appreciate this note and your thoughts
We brought two bottles of Champagne back here from her home
One is for Tanya Mary's birthday and the other is for today
So at Midday we'll be cracking it open and having a drink for both her and Brett
There are lots of terrific memories but we miss her like all hell

Reply from Jacqui
Well, Geoff, at lunch time when I have a Father's Day drink,
I will be doing a silent toast to you and to Tanya and the rest of your family
I hope you have a nice day
Much love to you and Sharon

From Melissa Harwood

Hi Geoff, and yesterday would have been pretty tough to get through
I spent some quiet time at my Dad's graveside reflecting on his life and the memories that came to my mind were quite amusing,
which I guess made me smile, even though there is still that void of not having him here
It was a very difficult year for me last year losing both my parents and my marriage/family,
and the anniversaries or special occasions I still find hard to get through
I pray that your memories continue to sustain you amidst the heartache
I think your website and photo gallery is truly marvelous ... you do a fantastic job
I believe in keeping photos and memorabilia
Every moment is a historic moment
I have a huge treasure box of historic moments and snapshots
Kind regards ... Melissa

Reply from Geoff
Hi Melissa, and thank you for the wonderful words you wrote
Yes, I agree ... the days that have "Special Names" are very hard to get through
I am very glad that, back in 2001, I decided to build our Web Site ... it means so much to us now
Regards and best wishes ... Geoff
