I am blessed to have been friends with these ladies for nearly 22 years. They have always been there for me and I know that they always will.
Joe and Alice (Lal) were loved and admired by their children, grandchildren, family and friends. Pop had a fondness for cold tea and hot beer and always had a yarn to tell. Nan was always baking or cooking something "eat the peas!" Sadly for those left behind, we no longer have them to visit, to laugh with and hug. I wish my boys had known them. We miss you!
"Young Joe" (my fil) is the most dapper man. He even makes safari suits look good. We don't get to see him as much as we would like to but Mitchell and Trent love their Pa, as do I. Dad's birthday is 14 February and he lost his mum, Lal, one birthday. The boys were born on 10 February a couple of years later and I told him that I was "giving him something happy to remember on his birthday". This is Pa with most of his grandchildren... Trent, Mitchell, Kayla, Nick, Jake, Dean, Andrew and Daniel.
