John, I never met you but you made my friend Vicky very very happy.
That will do me.
Vicky, my heartfelt condolences. One day soon we will share a whisky to toast a real soulmate.
Rest in peace dad, you will be sadly missed by all who love you , fly high 😔 condolences Vicky at this sad time
I’m a good friend of Doug. I used to live in Australia. my home now is Alaska. Like Australia it’s wild and free and full of wildlife. When I look at the passage that your family is going through I think of the river. The river changes course daily. And yet with The river there is white water. At this time it is hard take the white water in and say thank you. Thank you for the memories thank you for the love of the family. Always be part of the river and be with the flow.
My deepest condolences Vicky for you and your family big hugs xx
It was a privilege to know you John and for you to be part of our family. You made my sister very happy. Go well dear gentle man.

Soulmates who will meet again one day. 💙❤
