Dear Lesley and family,
Kim and I were heartbroken when we learned of Grahams passing. We 1st met Graham through his work in Insurance almost 20 yrs ago. Our days always brightened whenever Graham visited. He supported us through some tough moments in life, shared many laughs, loads of banter and even shed a few tears. We are so thankful to have known Graham, a great bloke and a special friend. Miss you always James and Kim

Dear Lesley and family, when we were neighbours with Simon and Robyn we remember Graham's antics very well, along with the cheek he would give us and our kids Miller and Libby. All through it we remember you standing back with this huge smile on your face, like you were hugely enjoying watching the Big Kid! Graham was loads of fun however his dedication to all his family was obvious. It was a fantastic farewell today for Graham, some very funny moments, and some very poignant ones too.
Much love to you and your lovely family from Di and Terry Johns

Dear Lesley and Family. I am so sorry that you have lost Graham. He was simply one of the best people I have every known and I am struggling to type this message to you through the tears. His great sense of humour will be keenly missed but most of all it is his genuine and complete kindness to us all that we will miss the most. He loved us all but you, his dear family, he loved fiercely - you were his world and he was so proud of each of you. I am so sorry I cant be with you tomorrow in body but my prayers and thoughts will be. Naomi Ballantyne
