Hey Dad
Just at work here thinking of you on Anzac Day. We had great times and memories on this important day. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
You were an inspiration to all your family and a treasured friend to me. You still form a great part of my life as I struggle with my own insecurities and decisions in my work – work that you devoted 30 years to serving the community. Combined we have given 65 years to keeping the streets safe and upholding the laws of the land.
Hoping that there is that life after death we have all believed and had faith in and that we will meet again without pain and suffering.
May God continue to look after your soul
PETER.

Dear Pop
I miss the days and nights when I would pop into your place on my way home from somewhere and have a kit kat with you or bring a treat to share. I miss the jokes I used to tell that you would laugh at and I miss just talkng to you and telling you all about my success and my job and you telling me you knew so and so (you always knew someone I would be speaking about)
I miss you more than you will ever know and even when I pull up in your driveway or go to the club for dinner I still expect to see you there xx
