Dennis FULLER Obituary

My love Christmas time again another without you, so many now. I am finding this Christmas particularly difficult, this year has not been kind to me and living day to day is hard made especially so without you being by my side. You had helped me through many difficult times but the latest one has been the worst one that I have ever experienced in my life, your love, strength and understanding saw me through. I know you are still watching over me and I know you are giving me strength to carry on and I am really trying. My love it is so difficult without your physical presence and I miss you and love you more than ever. I didn´t think I was going to write to you at this time knowing how I am feeling at the moment but I didn´t want to let you down. My love you know that I am always thinking about you from the first thing in the morning until I go to sleep at night. I love and miss you today, tomorrow and forever, Merry Christmas from me to you.

My love 78 today the 8th June you were a very special human being with nothing but kindness in your heart and the love we shared together is even stronger now we´re apart. I know nothing can bring you back and a piece of me went with you the day you went away and in my heart I know you couldn´t stay for it was your time to go. My love you had stayed for as long as your body had allowed you to and that is why I could never wish you back. You left me with the memories of laughter, joy and happiness and also those memories of the hard times that we shared together. They say that time is a healer and that life has to go on but for me it doesn´t get any easier for my life has never been the same, nor will it ever be now that you are not here to share it with me. Always on my mind and in my heart forever. Happy Birthday my love, I love and miss you always and forever

Today, the 2nd April my love would have been our 30th Wedding Anniversary. 10 years ago yesterday some of your ashes were scattered amongst the Flaxes at Curran Street, your preferred spot to sit and watch over Denny´s Bridge. This was your pet name for the Auckland Harbour Bridge that you had worked on for 35 years.
Happy 30th Anniversary my love, I love you today tomorrow and forever

My love no candles this year if there were there would be 10 representing that 10 years ago today the 11th January we lost you. We thought last year would be Mum´s last visit but she is with us celebrating her 98th Birthday after coming to spend Christmas with us. Again like last year I will quietly remember you and all that you meant to me and still do while we celebrate Mum´s Birthday. You were truly my soulmate, compassionate, kind, patient, understanding, loving and always smiling even through all the pain you endured for so long. That was why when on the 10th January 10 years ago they wanted me to turn off your life support, I couldn´t do that to you my love because of the man you were so strong you were the one that had to make that decision. I spent that last night with you my face pressed against yours and at 9.15am you were like a clock winding down without a sound your heart of gold stopped beating and you were no longer with us. I can´t believe it´s been 10 years it only seems like yesterday not a single day has passed without me thinking about you and talking to you and I know you are there watching over me and you always will be. I miss you more and more as time passes and I will always be grateful to Jo, Duncan, Charlie and Emma for your Memorial Book that allows me to write these messages to you, which in some small way makes me feel close to you. I love you today, tomorrow and forever.

My love I am sitting here wanting to write to you as it´s Christmas time again the 10th one without you but for the first time no words will come. Again this year is different as Mum has made the trip all alone to celebrate this festive season with us. I have been close to tears so many times and even now I am fighting to hold them back so I can say I love and miss you more and more as time passes.I promise I will try and do better next time. Happy heavenly Christmas my love and thank you for still being there for me, my protector now and not my rock. I love you today, tomorrow and forever

I have found memories of Dennis as a friend and workmate from the 1970s and on. I've been in Sweden for 20 years. Rest in peace Dennis. Frank Jensen

Dear Dennis, I was honoured that you thought of me as your daughter.
Happy fathers´s day, love Jo

Today 8th of June would have been your 77th Birthday just like a Bingo call 77 Sunset Strip, don´t ask me why but that just popped into my mind perhaps you had something to do with that, my love. Our lives, my life goes on without you and nothing is the same for me a different country and a different home, a completely different way of life. The last weeks have been hard for me in every way and I really needed your love and support and for me to hear your words of wisdom to help me through, for you always knew the right things to say to put my mind at rest. I could always count on you my rock but now my protector, I know you did listen when I talked to you and in the only way you knew how you were there for me, thank you my love. Happy Birthday my love wherever you are I can just see you having a game of chess with Bob. I love you still and always will and nothing will ever change that. I love you today, tomorrow and forever

Another celebration without you, too many now, I love you today, tomorrow and forever.

29 years ago, 2nd April was our Wedding day at a special time of year, Easter, it was our special time. I want to say thank you for always being there for me through the tough times and there were many, like I was there for you through yours. You were there to cheer me on, give me advice and love me unconditionally. I can´t thank you enough, my love for all you had given me during the time that we had together. You were my best friend, my soul mate, our life together was not always easy but it was meant to be and a blessing that we found each other when we did all those years ago. Love you today, tomorrow and forever.
Happy 29th Anniversary my love.

Hi there, I haven’t written for a long while I know.
I wanted to tell you how strong Mum was today, she never let on that a part of her was quietly not in celebration mode. I really enjoyed Mum’s help today too.
Thank you for always being around. I’m looking forward to seeing Sarah soon.
Lots of love
Jo and co.

My love 9 candles representing that 9 years ago today the 11th January we lost you and this year we will be celebrating Mum´s 97th Birthday something we can´t usually do as we are here and she is there but not this time. Today I well quietly remember you and all that you meant to me and still do while we celebrate this milestone of a special Birthday with special people that I thought would never happen. Know that you meant and still mean the world to me now my protector and not my rock, thank you for being you with a big heart and one of gold I will love and miss you forever until we meet again.

It´s Christmas time again the time that brings back the Christmas 9 years ago when you went into hospital the day before Christmas Eve and sadly you never came out as you left us on the 11th January. The time when Jo, Duncan, Charlie a toddler and Emma 7 months old came to spend it with us. This year is a very different one for us as family have come here, Al´s idea so Mum could come for the last time, four generations together. Loren is 16, Emma is 9 and Charlie is 11 going to college next year. My goodness how they have all grown and the hugs from Al and Loren were so needed and the last 7 years just melted away. The happy memories we make this Christmas will last a lifetime for however long or short that might be. Jo always messages me goodnight and tonight she asked me to let you know that we will be lighting a candle for you tomorrow and for those that aren´t here with us round the table and to let you know that she is thinking about you.When you left a piece of my heart went with you leaving me at times feeling empty especially this time of the year when it´s time that families come together. This year I will miss you but I have Mum here which means so much and I have both my daughters together which never in my wildest dreams did I think would happen and Loren so grown up and with Charlie and Emma makes 3 Grandchildren.
Happy heavenly Christmas my love, I love you today, tomorrow and forever.

One of the things I remember is that you were always smiling even through all your pain.

Today the 8th of June would have been your 76th Birthday so Happy Birthday my love wherever you are. I talk about you because I am proud of how you coped with all that you endured health wise, you were so very strong and because you deserve to be remembered. I talk about you because even though you are not physically with me you are never far from my thoughts and you are still part of me and for as long as I live you always will be. I talk about you because I love you still and I always will and nothing will ever change that. I love you today, tomorrow and forever

Every day and every moment that passes.

In life you were my rock but now my protector

Today 2nd April would have been our 28th Wedding Anniversary and you would have been 75years old and by now you wouldn´t have been putting on that bullet proof vest you would have retired. You always made our Anniversaries special and so I wonder what we would have been doing this year, maybe dinner at the Orbit Restaurant which we enjoyed and if I remember correctly we did that on our last Wedding Anniversary before you sadly left us.
I did remember correctly I have just found photos taken on the 2nd April 2013 it was our 19th Wedding Anniversary and at the time we thought why not we will this year in style as we may not make our 20th as you were not in the best of health and hadn´t been for sometime. I think about you every day and today I will be remembering that special day that is so long ago yet seems only yesterday. I love you today, tomorrow and forever.

My love thousands of kisses and hugs are coming your way today and every day just to let you know how much I love and miss you and by all of those who are left behind. Those we love and lose are together with us in our hearts and forever in our memories

Hello my love 8 years ago at 9.15am on the 11th January my life changed forever and continued without having you by my side, holding your hand and talking face to face but I will never let go of loving you, remembering you and I will forever miss you. You live on in my heart, I talk about you and speak your name because you will always be part of my life. I love you today, tomorrow and forever

My love another year has passed without you and the time we were together gets further away and it doesn´t get any easier for I miss you now more than ever. I love you.

Well my love it´s this time of year again a time that makes me feel sad for this will be the 8th Christmas without you. You are not only missed at Christmas but each and every day for you were someone very special who meant more to me than words can ever say, so wherever you are I hope somehow you will know that you´re in my thoughts this Christmas for I will always love you so. Love you today, tomorrow and forever

Today my love the 8th June would have been your 75th Birthday and as we used to do I took down my Birthday cards and as usual I will put two cards in their place. One that was from me many moons ago and the other was one Jo had made for you, again many moons ago. I have an appointment to go to and Jo is taking me and we are weather permitting having a picnic and if not we will be sitting in the car. As it would have been a milestone Birthday for you we wanted to do something to celebrate and remember you. I love you and miss you so much I still can't believe that you are not here but maybe that's because deep down I know you are watching over me and the family and protecting me and the family, our guardian angel. Happy 75th Birthday my love, love and miss you today, tomorrow and forever ❤

Happy Anniversary my love, this day in 1994 was Easter Saturday and now 27 years later it's Good Friday. I may not have been your first love, first kiss or first date and I certainly wasn't your first wife but I was your last everything. If I were to live my life again and turn back the clock I would have found you sooner and loved you longer. I believe everything happens for a reason and it wasn't to be, it didn't happen that way because for one I wouldn't have Jo and you wouldn't have had someone you thought of as a daughter as if she was your own and I know you loved her as I do very much. You were my rock when I was facing the biggest challenge of my life, standing by me as I did for you when you were going through your numerous challenges. You always said we made a good team and now I have lost half of that team and stand alone. I miss your voice, your smile, your hugs, how you made me feel and your wicked sense of humour, I guess it's safe to say I miss your everything.
Love you today tomorrow and forever ❤

Dear Grandad, it was nice looking at video clips today. Charlie is Charlie.
I hope you liked the plant I choose for Mum. Diamonds in the night sounded right.
Lots of love

My love 7 years ago today, the 11th January, we lost you I truly can't believe it's been that long but then I see Emma and feel both happy and sad, happy to see how much she has grown and sad because it makes me realise that it has truly been that long. I still miss you every day but thankful for every day that you were in my life. I still feel the pain because I lost you but at the same time I feel joy from knowing you, I was unlucky to have to say goodbye way sooner than I should have but I feel luckier than most because I had someone who made saying goodbye so hard.
Love and miss you always and forever ❤

Hello stranger.
It would have been so nice to have you living here with Mum. I can just imagine you here popping out through mums front door.
We lit candles over Christmas to bring you closer.
Lots of love from us here, merry Christmas xoxox

Well my love it's that time of the year again, December and of course January when us two became one, the time I go through with a heavy heart, the 7th Christmas without you. We used to love this time of year but for me no more everything I see reminds me of just how much I miss you. Wherever you are my love I hope somehow you know that you are in my thoughts especially at Christmas for I will always love you so.❤

My love 74 today the 8th June, I always said I wouldn't say the words I wish you were here because I know what a struggle you had every day for all but the first 14 years of your life. This time I am saying I wish you were here so I could say Happy Birthday and see your bright, loving smile. The one gift I can give you is to write this to you, to say you left behind sweet memories of laughter, joy and happiness that echo in my mind. When I look at photos of you, us and all of our family I think of you with love and those happy memories come flooding back. I have said this before, that they say time's a healer and that life has to go on but walking down that memory lane just reminds me how, without you, life has never been the same nor will it ever be now that you have gone. Always on my mind and in my heart forever.
Happy Birthday, love and miss you always and forever ❤

Today is our 26th Wedding Anniversary and I am missing you more than ever for our world has gone crazy with a virus that is sweeping across the globe. I am keeping myself to myself, not going out and even keeping my distance from Jo, Duncan, Charlie and Emma and nobody knows when it's going to end. When I was going through cancer I wasn't scared because you would put my mind at rest, you always knew the right thing to say making me see sense and indeed that's what it was like all through our life together. Whenever anything worried me you were there with your words of wisdom, my rock and I am missing those words during this trying time. Now that you are not here to share my life each day I feel a sadness in my heart that just won't go away. When the sun goes down and evening starts to fall that's when my arms long for you and I miss you most of all. It was like that when you worked a late shift but at least then I could jump in the car and know I was going to see you soon. We would chat all the way home and I remember once when we were distracted chatting to one another and one of us went to shut the garage before the car had cleared the door, luckily there wasn't any damage to the roof. When we were together we were as close as we could be and there isn't anyone on Earth who could mean the same to me, ever. Happy Anniversary my love, love you today, always and forever.

My love we are now in the next decade for I lost you 6 years ago today, 11th January in 2014 and now it's 2020. Every single day my thoughts turn to you, I think of things you used to say and all that you would do. I try not to be sad but it doesn't always work so then I try to remind myself of the happy times we had. I know I can't be with you now and you can't be with me but safe inside my heart you'll stay and that's where you will always be never to be forgotten. Love you always and forever.

With love this Christmas.

My love this the 6th Christmas without you and it's a strange one this year and I am not feeling myself so I am just lighting this candle for you. Just know that I love and miss you every single minute of every single day.

My love 73 today the 8th June, again is full of happy memories of Birthday celebrations we have shared throughout the years. I will always miss you, the endless joy you brought still warms my heart and thoughts of you still fill my every thought of every minute of every day. I always say goodnight to you when I get into bed and the first thing I say is good morning to you when I wake up. So I will celebrate your Birthday but I will spend it missing you. This year, my love I have a present for you a cockatoo that now stands in the corner of my garden that is dedicated to your memory. Happy Birthday, love and miss you always and forever ❤

It's Easter time and I want you to know how special you were, your life was a blessing and now your memory I treasure. You were loved and still are and missed more than you will ever know.
Happy Easter my love.

My love today would have been our 25th Wedding Anniversary I always hoped we would have been allowed to celebrate this milestone in our marriage but we didn't even celebrate our 20th as you sadly left me at the beginning of that year. You are not only my husband but my best friend and soulmate, each day I miss you more. I miss our talks and the special way that you would always understand me. I miss the closeness that we shared, sometimes we would finish each other's sentences, for we had gone through so much together and how you would always hold my hand. My love is always with you even though you are not here, I find myself looking back daily to so many happy days. I am trying to get by the best way I can just know that you will always be my man and forever in my heart until we meet again. Love you not only today, tomorrow but forever.

My love 5 years today, 11th January, you left us, they say that times a healer but not for me as it only seems like yesterday. I think of you first thing in the morning when the sun rises and the last thing at night when the darkness falls. Nothing now seems quite the same the day is not as bright, the birds still sing and the flowers still grow but my world without you will never be the same. It's so sad that you had to go your leaving was so painful, for you were very special not only to me but to many others. You will never be forgotten, we talk about you all the time and you are still a big part of our lives. I miss you so much my love, I will love you not only today, tomorrow but forever.

A candle for 2019 my love I can't believe another New Year without you. I love and miss you more than ever.

We lit a real candle for you today. The years are speeding by which like your passing we have no control over but we choose to keep you alive in our hearts and minds as time marches by. Thinking of you, love
Jo, Duncan, Charlie and Emma
Ps, thank you for your Santa light you left behind.

My love as the 5th Anniversary of me losing you is coming ever closer I am finding this Christmas harder than the ones before for this will be the 5th one without you. Looking back to the Christmases past and all the happy times we shared not only together but with the family makes me miss you more especially your smile, your ever so distinctive voice and not forgetting your wonderful sense of humour and the way you had of making everything better. Christmas just isn't the same without you here but we will remember you this Christmas Day and light a candle for you in the place at the table that you would have been. I know you will be near and will be watching over us, Merry Christmas my love you are in my heart so precious and dear, I love you and miss you so much.

My love 72 today the 8th June, today is full of happy memories of Birthday celebrations we have shared throughout the years. I will always miss you, the endless joy you brought warms my heart and fills my every thought of every minute of every day. I say goodnight to you when I get into bed and the first thing I say is good morning to you when I wake up. So I will celebrate your Birthday but I will spend it missing you. Happy Birthday, love and miss you always and forever. ❤

My love it's Easter time again and today is Easter Monday, 2nd April
and also our 24th Wedding Anniversary, all this weekend my thoughts
have gone back to that Easter weekend in 1994 and what we were doing. I drove you to Allan and Del's the evening before so that we spent the last night apart before we became man and wife a day I will never forget and remember with fondness. Another night that will stay etched in my mind forever was the very last one I spent with you before you left my world. The days I do not think of you are very hard to find because there aren't any, each day when I wake and say good morning I know that you are gone and no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you no one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill, in life I loved you dearly and in death I love you still.
Happy Easter and a Happy 24th Wedding Anniversary my love until we meet again, love you always.❤

My love 4 years today, 11th January, you left us and it happened for a reason, I know in my heart that reason. They say time will heal but neither time or reason will change the way I feel. The heartache that lies behind my smile and the many times I have broken down and cried, tears falling again for no reason. I want you to know that you are so wonderful to think about but so hard to be without, what we shared will never die it lives within my heart. Even though you aren't here and I miss you so much I will love you not only today, tomorrow but forever.

I tried for Christmas but it didn't make it in here, take two!
Merry Christmas and now a happy new year. Thank you for always looking out for us. Love Jo, Duncan, Charlie and Emma :0)

A candle for 2018

My love this is the fourth Christmas without you another Christmas time that we have spent apart, an empty space at our table and one in my heart. You can't decorate the tree or light a Christmas candle but this is the first year I have done it for us, alone. I have sat and cried, poured my heart out to you to let you know that you are missed and loved not only at this special time of year but the whole year through. So during this Christmas time when sadly we will be apart, I wish you a Merry Christmas my love you are forever in my heart. When I wake on Christmas Day I will remember every smile and think of you with love, if I could have one Christmas wish, one dream that could come true then I would wish with all my heart for one more day with you.
I love and miss you more than words can say.

Dennis my love, 71 today the 8th June, you were very kind and loving but so strong, very thoughtful and always ready to help anyone that needed it. I think of you every single day of the year but somehow more than ever now your special day is here. No present or card can be given and that's very hard so I write this message in your Memorial Book which means you are not forgotten. For each memory of Birthdays past are remembered and treasured but these can't take the place of someone dear like you.
Happy Birthday,
I love and miss you always and forever.

My love it's Easter time again and although it's not the 2nd April this year, for it was Easter Saturday that we came together as husband and wife in 1994 I will be thinking of you as I do each and every day.
They say that time is a healer but as time goes by it doesn't get any easier to face the fact that you're gone. You will never be forgotten and every day I shed a tear, it's because I love you but I can never say the words I wish you were still here and that's not because I don't want you to be it's because I know that you are now free of all the pain you endured every single day and you are finally at peace, until we meet again my love, Happy Easter.

My love, today is our 23rd Wedding Anniversary and I'm saying you will never be forgotten as that simply cannot be for as long as I'm living I will carry you with me. You are safely tucked within my heart and your light will always shine, a glowing ember never stilled throughout the end of time. I will never know what the future brings or what lays ahead but what I do know is that you will walk beside me along the path I tread. So rest my love, be at peace and let your soul fly free, one day whenever that will be I'll join you for all eternity. Happy Anniversary, I love you and I miss you more than you will ever know and as time passes it never gets any easier for it feels like it was only yesterday. ❤

My love I think I'm a day late for Valentines but I wanted to send this to let you know that on my darkest days since we have been apart the memories of the times we shared warm my heart. Every day I miss your smile that no one can replace but when I picture it, I smile and it brings me comfort on those darkest days. Life is full of mysteries that can't be explained but I know that some day we will meet again but until we do I will somehow find the strength to live each day forever grateful for the happy years we spent together, Happy Valentines Day my love.
Love you today, tomorrow and forever❤

My love I can't believe it's 3 years since you left us I want you to know that I think about you every day, I miss you so much in every way, I look at your photo and kiss it every night. I'm so lonely without you beside me, your loving memories are forever with me and they always will be. Time goes by so fast, you were my everything, I miss you so much, your loving, your gentle touch, your smile, your face and your loving ways, I will miss you forever till the end of my days. Love you today, tomorrow and always.

As we sat at the table this Christmas Day I think you knew how very much you were missed, for I felt you beside me like I do no matter where I go. As every moment passes by now that Christmas time is here, I'll be thinking of the joy we shared at this special time of year but it's also tinged with sadness knowing that the last Christmas we had you weren't part of it as you were in hospital trying very hard to stay but it was your time to go. My love you are loved and missed every single minute of every single day.

This is the third Christmas without you, Duncan's family are with us this year and as we celebrate the day you will be with us in spirit.

Happy Birthday my love, 70 today the 8th June, 5 years ago we came to Brisbane to celebrate your 65th with Jo, Duncan and baby Charlie. Jo created your cake, Formula 1 theme complete with a bottle of Bubbly. It was the first holiday we had ever had together and it was great, we made many happy memories not only together but with the then family of 3. We would have been celebrating this one too but now it would be with a family of 4. I have been wondering what creation Jo would have come up with for your 70th, sadly this we will never know.

To the world I am fine.
When I am alone I am the real me,
I'm heartbroken and I miss you.
You were a part of my life, my very being
and you will always be in my heart.

Happy Birthday,
I love and miss you always and forever.

I'm sorry my love I missed your 2nd Annversary of when you passed but I had an accident on that day, what a way to remember the day I lost you 2 years ago. I can't believe it has been that long but I talk to you everyday and you don't know what I would give to hear you talk back. I miss your laughter and that wonderful smile, that smile and sense of humour that you had right up until the end. I miss everything about you my love, Happy Valentines Day.

The second Christmas without you, every day without you, since you had to go. Is like summer without sunshine and winter without snow. I talk to you there's so much that I say. Life has changed so very much, since you went away. I miss the bond between us and I miss your kind support. You're in my mind and in my heart and every Christmas thought. I'll always feel you close to me and though you're far from sight, I'll search for you among the stars that shine on Christmas night. Merry Christmas my love, I love and miss you.

Happy Birthday my love, 69 today the 8th June. I can say that because I feel that you are still with me guiding me and keeping me strong like you used to and I thank you for that. Love and miss you always and forever.

My love we married 21years ago today, 2nd April it was Easter Saturday. I miss you as the days and months pass, I'm not making making new memories yet but I promise you I will, I miss you as I smile and sometimes laugh. Happy Anniversary, I love you today and every day and I miss you so much more than you will ever know.

A day late I know but we were thinking about you all day yesterday, as we enjoyed your favourite pancakes, as we lit candles, as we searched for things to make a special garden here for you.
We miss you but we look to the things you do/send for us that keep you close. Lots of love Jo, Duncan, Charlie and Emma xoxo.

Dear Dennis. We all miss you. Now when the phone rings our hearts break a little, because it's not Dad or you. You are always in our prayers. Until we meet again. Gerard, Janie, Rebecca, Ash, Victoria & Jareth xxxxxx

11th January a year ago, the moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, until the day arrives that we will meet again. I love you today, tomorrow and always.

My, our first Christmas without you, this time last year we didn't know what was ahead of us which was to lose you. Merry Christmas my love and as we celebrate the day together and enjoy the excitement of Charlie and Emma we will remember and hold you close in our hearts and know that you are loved so very much. Until we meet again, I love and miss you every minute of every day.

Happy Fathers day Dennis, we were thinking of you today knowing the wonderful job you did with raising jo, shedding a tear for you as I miss you and so does my family
Love Victoria

Dear Dennis,
We'll miss you this Father's Day, no card for me to make.
A Happy Father's Day to you. I am so happy and proud to have been the Daughter you never had. Many thanks for all that you were and still are, lol xoxox.

My love today, 8th June, would have been your 68th Birthday, you have been gone now almost 5 months. Every day I think of you, talk to you and miss you dearly. All my love today, tomorrow and forever.

A very good friend and workmate for I don't know how many years. Its not going to be easy for you Sandra.
Jan and Lawrie (late) Dring.

Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary Dennis love you and miss you from Victoria xxxx

From that first moment we made a connection. There was that sense that I had known you for a long time and that our relationship was meant to be. Thank you for all that you were and still are in my life. You were there through the ups and downs, reminding me each day of why I love you. It is because of you that I know the bonds we form are as everlasting as the spirit.

Dennis you will be missed. RIP our dear friend. Glen
and Wendy and family!
