We played together as children, our favourite place was the paddock across the road, when mum would come to visit Aunty Mary. Aunty would whistle for us kids to return home. I loved coming over to see my cousins. RIP my dear cousin. Condolences to my cousins and their families.

Hillary, I always remembered how good you were with saving money. At school if I spent my bus money at the school shop buying crisps and lollies and drink, I could always find you and you’d give me bus money to get home, shaking your head as you walked away pockets jingling full of change lol. I love and miss you my brother, you loved your solitaryness but you were always right there in our hearts and always will be. I hope to see you again sometime in the future but knowing you, you’ve probably already moved on to better things. Hope you’re enjoying all my animals in heaven lol.
