The man I’ve loved all my life doesn’t know my name When I was a child Dad was larger than life to me. Dad had this ability to sit with me and cuddle and without many words it felt like everything was right with the world. If Mum was the heart of our family, then Dad was the anchor: strong, calm and constant. I remember looking at him as a littl...more

🌷 Shelley gave a flower Thinking of you today and everyday, you will forever live on in my heart xo

My final goodbye My Dad Bob Lyon was many things to many people but to me he was just My Dad. I’ve started to write this so many times and my words became focused on the last years and how Alzheimer’s took him from me piece by piece in front of my eyes. Even through this he still always maintained his dry sense of humour we all knew so well. ...more

🕯 Shelley lit a candle By Spencer I never really knew the pop without alsaymis. I still looked up to him. He was a great man. I’m sure you all had great times with him. All the games i play with a winner and looser, i try to win for him. He is in a better place now without pain. God and Jesus will take care of him while he awaits one of us.

🌷 Beth Lyon gave a flower To my beautiful Pop, who fought such a brave battle with Alzheimers. My pop fought against it for 8 years and it was horrifying to watch. I was 6 when he was diagnosed and for me it was pretty tough that as I got older he started to forget who I was, but on the very odd occasion something in his memory would twig and he ...more

Good Mates. Just a few thoughts from a mate. A good mate the quintessential aussie mate what you see is what you get always quietly and unobtrusively watching out for you he's the first to offer help and expects nothing in return. We met through Emma and Shelleys skating about 35 years ago and our friendship developed quickly. Common interests a...more

My Friend Bob has been a part of our lives since before our marriage. Judy had to educate me about his cruel should I say (clever) sense of humour, constantly. The first time was when we stayed with Bob and Val on our honeymoon when he put a tape recorder in our bedroom and I wonder why Judy was putting herd hand over my mouth. He became one of...more

We'll have a drink to you when we reach the desert in a few days.

Message from Judy My friend - my brother - my cousin. He took the mickey but never took advantage or made fun of me - rather with me. But I did have to educate Doug about his tricky ways because he got sucked in all the time. The most recent best memory I have was when we visited Bob and Bal in the last few weeks and had such quality time with ...more

🕯 Valerie Lyon lit a candle I am remembering all the fun times we spent together that I haven't thought about in years. Probably because it was to hard, and it is. Have to remember - from the poem "You Can Shed Tears That He is Gone' You can shed tears that Bob is gone Or you can smile because he has lived.(see all he's left, all we have ...more

🕯 Shelley lit a candle It hurts so much. Miss you dad

From Spencer I never really knew my Pop without alsaymis. I still looked up to him. He was a great man. I'm sure you all had great times with him. All the games I play with a winner and looser, I try to win for him. He is in a better place now without pain. God and Jesus will take care of him while he awaits one of us.

🕯 Shelley lit a candle It has been a year today. It hurts to think that you are not here anymore. Although I can’t help but smile with tears in my eyes to think of how we cherished each and every moment of our lives together when you were alive. Just like how I was the apple of your eye, you were the balm to my soul. You always understood me. I ...more

🌷 Valerie Lyon gave a flower An essay written by Bobs' Granddaughter the year after he passed away.(names changed) LOSS One day something happened which in a roundabout way was enlightening. It took me a while to find the good in what happened to and it took me longer to be able to use in in a good way. I had been to the Football during the ...more
