GILLANDERS, Murray:
You were the most amazing and best Dad I could have ever asked for! The father-in-law to Steven, men would only dream of, great mate to Trent, and last but definitely not least! He was Brathan's best mate and loyalist Grandad, a boy could ask for!! You are going to be missed like you would not believe and our lives will never be the same. We have the bestest memories and we will cherish every single moment we had with you. You now have a piece of our heart! Take it easy and keep up that big smile!
All our love, Michelle and Steven, Trent and Jess, Brathan and Sophie xxxxxx
