PATTERSON, Viv
A better brother I could not have asked for. I will cherish the times we spent around at your happy place “the block” sharing stories and having a laugh of good old days and having the odd bet or poke – I will miss that, I will miss you. I know you had places you wanted to go and more things to do. No more pain – fly high and free.
Reunited with Mum, Dad, Carol, Val and Shane.
Love you Vivvy Boy - Rosie

2. Poppy, you have left an unimaginable void and were taken far too soon.
   We could not have asked for a more unconditional love for our boys, and we are so grateful for the time and memories we shared.

   I will miss sharing your garden triumphs and songs, and discussing clever lyrics.
   Those who knew you knew there was nothing you could not fix.

   Affectionately known as our “rogue agent,” you brought character, humour and heart into our lives. You were cool without trying, and it was always smoko time somewhere with you.
   May you find your Hiace, your Globes and a Nokia flip phone on your next adventure.

   Love always,
   Poss, Scott, Tajjy Boy, Bear and Mozzie
