Hey Geoff
Always in my heart.
Even though I haven’t seen you for years, I still have a giggle at the funny memories and the laughs we shared. I loved that you always laughed.
Thank you for your friendship, support, and kindness. It meant more than you probably ever realised, and I’ll always treasure it. Loving you forever Julie xxx

I was saddened to read of your passing wobbles. It did come as a shock as you always had a good attitude and personality about you. I enjoyed catching up with you when we did run into each other and was looking forward to seeing you at Cromwell. Gone too early. Our condolences to Jacqui and your family.
