Christopher SUTHERLAND Obituary

My thoughts go to both you and Lachie...xxxxxx

Kelly....

It doesn't seem right, that he is gone
a father, husband, brother, and friend
he hasn't given up the fight, instead he is somewhere new,
now at a different vantage point to fight for you xx

Thinking of you and your family during this very hard time.

My deepest condolences go out to Kelly and Lachie, having our kids play together in the hopice really helped mahalia with normality, and it was good for me to talk to someone going through the same thing. if you ever need to talk just facebook me xo. Cassie Hiley.
