Adrian, much time has passed but I think of you often. You gave me so much, you gave generously and asking nothing in return. You opened up your very being and poured it into paper, giving us something so beautiful to hold onto,
Thank you. Love always.

Because I've loved you
Though all the cards are dealt
I'd love you
Though you are no longer mine
I'll love you
Though the stars fall and melt
I love you
Beyond all place and time.
Rest in peace, Adrian.

KILLIGREW (Adrian ): Deepest sympathy to Ida and Leo, Ben and Marg, Simon and Leanne, Josie and Ian, Gaynor and your respective young families. To even imagine your pain is unbearable and I'm so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful son, brother, uncle and partner. Wonderful doesn't really cut it. He was charming, witty, impossible, ridiculously handsome, intelligent, acerbic, spiritual, sometimes downright rude, but always deeply, deeply loving. Adrian is, and will forever remain, so dear to me. We shared a unique connection which has left an indelible imprint on my life. I wouldn't have changed a thing, but am so sad that, in this life, I won't hear that laugh, look into those eyes or hold such gorgeous hands again. Much love, Wallis

KILLIGREW (Adrian):
To my beautiful sweet baby, my greatest love. Not long ago we experienced a little bit of Heaven at Ningaloo. We walked through Mandu Mandu Gorge, you holding our hands, through the rocky gullies, carrying our water on your back. Swimming along the reef, touching the sharks, you were always behind us, watching over us. Now you are with the stars we gazed upon together at Ningaloo, still watching over us. You are forever in our hearts, we love you dearly. Polly and Gaynor
