❤️ Thanks for all the fun times Billy. So many stories ….. some of which I’m hearing from my kids for the first time now! 💙 You and Pete take care of each other now as Candy and I will. 💚 Sending love and thanks to the Cookson family for taking Bill into the fold. 💜 To Candy …. you are so loved by me and my kids.

Beautiful ceremony. Enjoying it from Wagga Wagga, NSW. it seemed fitting that we sit and watch it by my dad’s(Bill’s brother Peter) memorial in the nice sunshine. All our love to Aunty Candy, Linc and Caitlin. Uncle Bill will forever live on in our language. “Wrong” and “I must never” will ring on for years to come Thank you everyone who has supported Candy and our cousins through this time. Love to all Mitch, Ash and Noah Cox xx
