Hi Dad
Long time since I realised that no one has spoken for a while. Really miss you and the chats. You would love Angus - your great grandson and you would love your other three you did not meet. I promise to tell Angus all about you when he is old enough to understand. RIP mate - Until we meet again

Hey Dad
Just at work here thinking of you on Anzac Day. We had great times and memories on this important day. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
You were an inspiration to all your family and a treasured friend to me. You still form a great part of my life as I struggle with my own insecurities and decisions in mhy work - work that you devoted 30 years to serving the community. Combined we have given 65 years to keeping the streets safe and upholding the laws of the land.
Hoping that there is that life after death we have all believed and had faith in and that we will meet again without pain and suffering.
May God continue to look after your soul
PETER.

Dear Pop
I miss the days and nights when I would pop into your place on my way home from somewhere and have a kit kat with you or bring a treat to share. I miss the jokes I used to tell that you would laugh at and I miss just talkng to you and telling you all about my success and my job and you telling me you knew so and so (you always knew someone I would be speaking about)
I miss you more than you will ever know and even when I pull up in your driveway or go to the club for dinner I still expect to see you there xx

Where has 12 months gone - this time last year we were seeing you slipping away peacefully into your next life. I hope and pray that you are at peace. Memories of your life are still very strong and I am still meeting people who are saddened by your loss. You affected the lives of so many. I MISS YOU AND THINK OF YOU OFTEN. I hope and pray that one day we can all be reunited.

Pop, three months have passed and not a day has gone by without a thought of you. You were admired by so many people. It would be a honour if I can inspire only a fraction of the people you have. I am so proud to be able to call you 'My Pop'. I miss you every day, but I know in time I will see you again. For now may you Rest In Peace. Love Amy xxoo

Frank,you and my dad were great mates. That friendship extended to me in my teenage years when I was among the "hoods". That you for looking after me; Kicking my bum when it was needed and giving me some great rides in the police car, lights and siren.... I thought I was cool. I'll see you in my next life Frank.

Many years ago with Bass Hill RSL soccer, Frank was a respected friend to all of us "hoods".
