  4. So many childhood memories we share from the Armstrong Street days that I will cherish. Alex was such a beautiful, kind, funny kid with lots of personality. My thoughts are with Carly and Alex’s beautiful girls Sadie and Ava, Jenny, Graham, Dylan, Emma, Mia, Soph, Bree and all of Alex’s friends and extended family. Gone way too soon. May all the love and support you receive hold you as you navigate through this tragic tough time. I wish I was able to make his life celebration. 😭

  13. Alpal I have no words, I will cherish the precious childhood memories we shared - the adventures in the world of Pokémon and the cherished tradition of celebrating birthdays in Geelong. I will always remember how we could effortlessly convince Soph to watch whatever movie we desired.
    Love, thoughts and prayers to Graham, Jenny, Soph, Emma, Dylan, Mia, Carly, Sadie & Ava.
    Now, as I say goodbye, may you find eternal peace. Gone far too soon.
    Love Bree xo
