4. What a devastating loss!
   I have fond memories of our childhood playing at grandma and grandpa Browne’s farm. Darren built a ‘cubby house’ for us girls. (For my sisters and his) A timber platform in a big oak tree behind the shed.

   He’ll be long remembered for his big heart and cheeky smile!!
   Our thoughts and hearts are with you today Uncle Leon, Michelle, Kaylenda, husbands and families.
