  2. Deepest sympathy to you Ellen on the passing of your soul mate and life partner in crime.
    I am devastated to have lost you Graham. You were like my bonus grandfather and it was such an honour and privilege to have had you in my life. You were always a gentleman but had a fabulous wit and sense of humour and a man with so many different talents for us to learn from. I have endless memories to treasure and I’m so thankful that you did get to meet little Lachlan. I promise we will all take care of Ellen but you can now rest peacefully.
    Love always, Jess, Jeremy, Noah and Lachlan ❤️

    I was only thinking of you both two days ago and wondering how you were going … and am so saddened to read of Graham’s passing.

    Graham was much respected and such a lovely gentleman and you will miss him dearly.
