    My Condolences to Catherine & Tom, Jeff & mum, Uncle Brian & Aunty Moira, for the loss of their father and father-in-law, to the lovely homegrown bunch Rhonda, Hayden, Liam and Lewis, Jessica and my brother Jackson for the loss of their grandfather. And to all the homegrown children who were lucky enough to have Maurice as their great grandfather.

    Thank you Maurice, for helping to bring into the world and raise the best stepfather one could ever hope for, I feel very blessed to have had Jeff raise and love me as his own.
    I will say rest in love, because now you are with your soulmate.
