Just sitting in the sun with Dad reminiscing about Graeme. Dad is very grateful for all the times Graeme came up to help him on the farm or with the boat. Sounds like there was a couple of close calls with Uncle Graeme falling off a ladder and nearly being run over by the tractor! many treasured memories of Graeme. We’re glad he had a good life with his beautiful family. Much love to Levonne, Jenny and Michelle and their families from Brian, Gailene, Kate, Anna and Julie Xx
