ZAPPA (Joseph ): To Our Darling Dad
Dad, you're like the sun to us, always there beaming light and warmth on our lives.
Whatever is good in us today we owe to your wisdom, your patience, your strength and most of all your unconditional love.
Although you had three daughters, you taught us everything like you would have done a son, fishing, camping and riding motorbikes, which we will treasure forever.
We understand what you did for us and we are so grateful to you, we respect you, admire you, we love you, our guiding light, our dad.
In our lives and hearts forever.
Love always Kathleen (Catalina), Leanne (Larny), Kelly (Bullfrog)

04.10.1938 - 11.06.2018 To my wonderful wonderful beautiful husband of 55 years, taken far too early. I don't know how I will ever carry on without you. We were always together, never apart. Just not seeing you and you being by my side, to guide one another along as we always did, will be very hard. You are one in a million, there will never ever be another like you. Your pain and suffering has now gone and you are in Heaven until we meet again. Love you love you to the moon and back - always. I will treasure those beautiful memories that we have together forever in my heart.
Your loving wife always, Erica xxx
