happy birthday dad x. We think of you all days and will love you for eternity. Be happy where you are and know we are all ok xxxx forever my hero xxx

Hello my darling man. It's my birthday and you're not here to help me celebrate. Although why I'd want to celebrate being this old I can't imagine. I think of you all the time. Love you and miss you so much. Xxxxx

Hi dad
Sad news - Your dad passed this week - but I'm sure you two have already caught up for a dear drink- I'm slow. It was a lovely quiet, and 'no fuss' occasion as I'm sure he wished. You'd be proud - your lot behaved :) we've all grown so much - and survived your leaving whether we wanted to or not. How so very proud you'd be dad. The boys are so impressive - gorgeous, handsome men , and us oldest girls...well we are who we are - just the way you like us. Caity is stunning - and doing well. And Rob - what a good friend she is to your sister - she will love you forever... And you deserved each other - cause you did love her too just as much. I really missed you and hope poppa heard my message for you. I'll love you forever my beating heart...(one of) your princess'

8 weeks without you to talk to , laugh with and love. The house is nearly finished. I wish you were here too see it and share it with us. I pray that you can see it and see us from wherever you are. Adorable man.

4 weeks have passed. I think about you constantly. I cry every day. My dearest Ross you were the most loving and woderful husband and I feel very priviledged to be your wife. Loving of you.

My heart is aching to talk to you my daddy...I miss you more than words...gidday my da xxx

Gone for 2 weeks. I miss you darling.

The world has lost a wonderful man - a loving father, husband, and friend to many. I will never forget the hilarious conversations we had - swapping recipes, parenting stories and problem solving, and that night's dinner menu. What wonderful children you raised, they are such a credit to you. I admired you so much. Rest in peace now Ross. A big hug for Robyn and all the family.

To Ross, Safe Journey we all miss you so much, and I miss knowing you are there to talk to. There is one child that will be so glad to see you, give him a big hug from me, for I also miss him as well. Lots of love from Christine

Missing you my darling man. You made me the happiest I had ever been in my life and I struggle to know how I'll go on without you. Your kids have been a tower of strength and you would be so proud of them all.I love you, respect you, and as you would say, most importantly really like you. Sleep peacefully my gorgeous husband.

Ross thank you for our three beautiful children. Rest in Peace. I know you will be watching over them and I know they will make you proud. You were a wonderful inspiration to them all

Dear Caitlin, Liam and James my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your dad. Caitlin you were always such a great help to dad and I know his passing will leave a huge gap in all your lives. Thinking of you all.

Really sad to hear about Ross. He was a gentle and lovely man with a self deprecating sense of humour. His strength and determination was an inspiration. Best wishes to Robyn and his family at this very sad time

You will be sadly missed, I know how much you mean to your family, and extended family. Your grandchildren are so lucky to have the time they did with you. Your journey leaves a legacy.

We have lost our wonderful father . We are all devastated and so very, very sad. He was our hero. He was a brilliant dad to the seven of us and a wonderful husband to his wife.
I will miss him very much although I know he is no longer in such severe pain, which makes it slightly easier to say goodbye. Thank you to all those people (now and over the years) who have offered support xx
