Benny

A whole year has passed now and I still feel like someone must have made a mistake and you are really off somewhere havin good times and will come back any minute. It kills me that when you were here we spent so much time bickering at each other, but now that you are gone I would give anything to be able to spend more time with you. We did have a lot of good times though, I have a lot of fun memories. You were the only person who let me sit on your shoulders so that I could rock out to bands, even though I'm sure I nearly broke your back, but that never stopped you because you didn't like to let people down like that. I learnt from you that every day is precious. You always lived each day as if it was your last, and I now understand why. Somewhere inside you knew that you only had a short time and you had to try and squeeze as much in to the time you had been given, which is why you were always so energetic, fun, loud, vibrant, and the life of every party. Even if there wasn't a party happening you always tried to turn every day into a party, which annoyed me some days, but I would give anything to be woken up in the middle of the night by your loud voice screaming out that it's time for some "good times"!! I've got your MLS hat hanging up in my lounge room. You were such a gentleman (NOT!) taking the last one, but in retrospect I am so glad because it is now so special to me. I'm sorry for clashing with you but I am so thankful for all of the good memories that I have of you. I believe that everyone comes into your life for a reason, and I think that you came into my life to show me that everything doesn't have to be so serious, sometimes you just have to let your hair down and forget everything and just be free. I really hope that you are ok wherever you are and that you are watching over us all down here, especially Britt. I will look after her to my best ability, but please don't ever leave her side, she needs you now more than ever. Give her the strength she needs to get through every day, and I will keep trying to put a smile on her face (although you know how stubborn she is, it's not an easy task!). I miss you mate.

Your friend

You are stunning. I love you with all my heart. Lisa bought your car baby, now we just have to get her driving it. I just cant believe this year, nor do i want to. Thank god it has been a blur and I am numb. Heading up for some lead shortly and to have a pale with tobio for you. Knowing your with me is all that gets me through this life i tell you. I never had to pretend to be cheery before but now it is just draining me and I soooo don't want to do it. I dont understand how anyone can be happy, nor how the earth continues to turn without you physically upon it. You are constantly in my mind, heart and thoughts. I am trying to write your memoriam message for the paper, now thats hard particularly when they charge by the characters and i have always got sooooo much to sayy! When it comes to you and how much i absolutely adore and miss you, it is so hard to be brief. I cant believe that this is not a situation i can fix, i keep wishing i could come up with something and i've already eliminated numerous possibilties such as tantrums, begging, praying etc. I am comforted by the thought that you will be there to meet me when its my turn however, I am not yet resigned to being patient! If theres a way to bring you home baby, i'l find it. Until then, i'll wait grumpily. I miss everything about you, down to your stinky socks and thats saying something cause your socks were pretty bad and i've actually sniffed your ford slippers and if that isn't enough to get you back i dont know what is! I miss absolutely everything from looking after you, talking to you, watching tele, your stories, your cooking and coffees, fighting with you, being amused, conned and annoyed by you, being woken up by you and just holding your bloody huge hands and having the hugest of hugs. I am such a better and stronger person for having been loved by you. If i had of known how long we had, i would have stayed by your side 24/7 and absolutely kissed your ass baby. But retrospects a bitch. Time will not heal this wound, I may learn to live without you again but you will never be out of my mind. You live on eternally in my heart and the hearts of those who love you. Happy anniversary for nov when i was to grumpy to write anything nice and to upset to look at this page and for dec in anticipation. Hope you love the new paint! Watch over us all my angel. I love you sooo much and miss you with every inch of my heart. Eternally your Princess xxxxxxxxxxxx

A good man, who helped my Mum out with the heavy jobs around her home over a number of years; someone who gave my niece times of happiness and joy. Someone who quietly sat by while we talked or gardened together enjoying the things that I liked and could do with her. Someone who cooked and made coffees, moved the car (s). Watched TV, and indulged my dogs, someone who helped Britt move furniture around making time for her and him. I am aware that they did other things and that she was happy and sometimes sad. I remember him at Edwin Ave living with Britt, at Lyons Road and at Telowir Ave. I remember their trips away in the country while Britty talked about country houses that she would like to live in.
It was Britt around this time who encouraged me to go live football games of the Port power, me who never ventured out in Winter at night because of health reasons; I did and enjoyed the experience of catching the footy bus, making picnic teas and coffee.

I am glad that I met some family and friends.

Cheers to you all,

Hi my love

Well thanks for a lovely day sat, how about k putting your presie on my tab hey?? Thanks for helping me find mine. Go Ford! On holiday soon baby, you better be following me please. It feels very wrong to have any good times without you physically by my side... seems just impossible and not right! But i will give it a whirl. Need this break. So look out Australia... You are my angel and I am thankful every day for the woman you helped me become. You showed and taught me so much. I got my first house baby... I am so devastated that you aren't here to enjoy it with me...certainly takes a lot of the joy out of it. But the relief is certainly overwhelming. Look after everyone up there for me and all of us down here my love. Help us stay safe and sane. Until next time, or until we are again in each others arms.. I love you more than i could ever explain, but i take tremendous comfort in the belief that you can read my thoughts, feel my feelings and walk silently by my side for eternity. Thanks for my rose. I miss you so much. All my love my beautiful beautiful prince. Roberto sends his love and I saw the terrible two in pirie (lol) today. They are good and it was so lovely to see them, look after Jack, Marilyn and Tobio my rock, they need you now. And your beautiful sister uncle benny. so many kissessssss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and hugs ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Love as always and forever my prince, your princess.

You've gone away.. it dont feel right here anymore.
The worst is over now and we can breath again, I want to hold you high and steal my pain, well... theres so much life to learn and no one left to fight, I want to hold you high and steal your pain.

You've gone away,... it dont feel right here, anymore. Love Seether & Evanescence xxxx

Broken windows and empty hall ways, a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey, Human kindness is overflowing and I think its gonna rain today.

Happy (blah) anniversary my love. 7th one without you, apparently 6 months has gone by. It still feels like a blur, still hanging onto the denial. 6 hours, days, weeks, months, years - it feels like all of that. Like 6 hours sometimes and 6 years others. I miss you so much baby. I glittered everyone and didn't even warn them all (except 1 kind of). You would be so proud & Frosty's #1 in the championships!!!!! Happy Happy Joy Joy !!!!!

Thank-you for everything and for every minute. I have been so surprised by people since you disappeared benj, in both good and bad ways. Definately an eye opener with regard to human kindness, friendship, love and peoples base emotional responses. Your love and this experience have taught me more than I will ever realise. I hope that you can say the same, im sure your probably learning more than ever, from there. It's certainly been very different here on all fronts, without you. I am so grumpy without you here to make me laugh, yell at, argue with and grumble to! My car has been copping quite a bit of abuse lately! Worse than that - 8 coopers pale ale's lasted me 6 months!!

Our love was just so overwhelmingly strong, neither of us could completely understand, or express it properly. It will transcend this seperation and remain with me until 'you are'! Ugh. Being strong sux. Its all nauseating baby! Im Grumpy!!! Getting old sux, let alone without having you here to tease for going grey first and passifying my occasional tantrums with regard to the unjust and disgusting aspects of this world! I dont like it, surprisingly! dont dont dont! blah! 30 smirty! Where's my coffee, The north pole??

I have and will always be proud of you benj. Im constantly dissapointed for all we've missed out on doing and not getting to watch (tease) you get old, I was so looking forward to that, as were you. At least you will remain eternally beautiful while I age very ungraciously and all smokes allowed for, very wrinkled, with one leg, no eyes and half a throat. Anywho.. I miss you, I love you, I'm proud of you - you gave it a burl and had fun!Most of all you loved me! Happy 7th blah anniversary my saviour, my prince, my love. xxxxx xxxxxxx oooooooooooooooooo xxxxxxx 0000000000000000000000000000

Ben lit up room his presence was felt. He was funny genuine kind tolerant accpeting easy going and never made anyone feel excluded, im proud to have known him. He was one of the few people at a family gathering who took the time to give me a hug and a kiss, i regret not taking more time to get to know him better. Im glad he made Britty feel so loved and appreciated. His death was an unfortunate tragedy. He touched so many peoples lives and willwill always be remembered.

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am I and you are you;
Whatever we were to each other, That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used,
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
-Henry Scott Holland, Canon of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London

My love
