Sending love to Sophie and Alastair, Brenden and Kavita – my thoughts are with you all at this time. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there in person, but I was grateful to be able to watch the funeral online – thank goodness for technology! To Chloe and Ryan – I’m so proud of you both. Your stories were beautiful to listen to. And now I understand exactly where Sophie’s school-day shenanigans came from – love it. John was clearly a much-loved man, and it was touching to see the depth of that love reflected in all the memories shared. With love, Elke
Thinking of you today Doreen, Bronwyn and familiy as you remember and celebrate John’s life. I remember John coming into Doreen and Bronwyn’s life when we were at high school and how happy he made you both. Such a humble man. RIP John. Thoughts with you all. Rachel and kids xx
