Brent, we knew this was coming, but it would always be too soon and it hurts to think we'll never talk again. You were such a good friend and I miss you so much now and always, Lesley.

Josh - sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Always hard losing a parent. Reading the service notice, it seems that your Dad had a sense of humour (is that where you got it?!). I hope you and your extended family find much support and love from friends and family. Kia kaha

To a great childhood friend, with that cheeky grin and those easy ways. A real battler to the end, Brent, you really did do it your way. Best to your family.
