  23. Leon, I will forever cherish the memories. You were nothing short of extraordinary – not that you would ever accept such a compliment.
    From your unconditional love, your unparalleled sense of selflessness and grace in abundance, I feel so unbelievably blessed to have had you in my life.
    I will miss the laughs, the baking advice hotline and your beautiful handwritten cards, never to be repeated again.
    My love goes out to Colleen. The level of care that she provided you was unwavering and incomparable.
    May you Rest in Peace alongside Nanna and Pa, and your brother Murray.
    I will miss you tremendously.
    Until we meet again.
    Love always, Zoe xxx
