  2. Dearest Helen, Sean, Heath, Briony, Ryan and families - our hearts go out to you all at this very sad time. Gosh what fond memories we have of Spook - the banter between a one eyed Hawks fan and the one eyed Collingwood fans will always be remembered with a slight little grin. Such fun, so many good times - you will be sadly missed Spook. Helen we are so sorry that we can't be with you in person on Friday but please know you will be in our thoughts on that day and always.
    All our love Sue, Trotter, Hayley & Stephen Melville and families
