Beryl, Shane, Craig and families. Know that we have you in our thoughts and we send our deepest love and condolences your way. We are so blessed to have had Neil is our lives.

Neil, you have always been a part of my life. You were with my big sister before I was born so I don't know life without you. I was your flower girl when you married Beryl, I spent school holidays with you both and the boys, you taught me to drive a car and ride a motorbike. You walked me down the aisle when I married Don. You and Don got on so well, when you and Beryl visited there were so many laughs, we had so much fun. My boys thought the world of you. Now our lives go on without...

Thank you uncle Neil for all the wonderful memories, especially the times you and Aunty Beryl spent Christmas with us in Melbourne. We had lots of laughs. Who are we going to talk to about rugby now? You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.
