Tony
came into my life in 1974 when I was 20 years old. He married Mum in June 1975,
a month after my 21st birthday. There's more on how we met Tony in the eulogy
on the funeral service page - see button below.
I
grew to love Tony and thought of him as my real dad - he always treated me like
his own daughter too. He adored my 2 children - they adored him too... he was
the only grandfather they have ever known.
We
are all thankful that Tony was allowed to come home for a few hours on Christmas
Day - this was very important to him, as he so wanted to spend Christmas with
his family, and of course, we wanted to have him home too. There is a lovely photo
of Lana & Luke with their Pa on Christmas Day on the photos page - see button
below. We are truly blessed to have had this day together... he passed away 3
days later.
Tony
- Pa - we love you. We have shared such happy times together, and you will always
live on in our hearts.
