Kirstie,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your Dad's recent passing. I have such wonderful memories growing up beside your family on Rathdown Drive and the Pink House. It was always such fun being in your home, with Grandad, Lucky the dog and there were so many birthday parties! Your Dad was such a good humoured, kind man with a great musical talent.
Please pass on my sincere condolences to your Mum, Heidi and Guy.
With love, Shona

Dear Ivy, Guy, Heidi, Kirstie, Yvonne and the wider family circle,
We were very saddened to hear that Ian had passed away. He was a true gentleman, wonderful husband and father, a supremely talented musician and very welcoming host, along with Ivy, to the numerous visitors of whatever age to the “Pink House” and more recently to “98”. We have many happy memories of him and can hardly imagine your feelings of loss at this time. Thanks to COVID we can only be with you in spirit but trust that you will feel the presence of a greater Comforter.

Sorry to hear the sad news. I hope you are all well. Brian
