In Memoriam
BAGRIE, Nathan Albert John (Bags):
Tragically and senselessly taken as a result of an accident on December 15, 1996.
To my son Nathan,
If I could give you one thing in life,
I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes,
Only then would you realise how special you are to me.
I love and miss you so much
Take care Nathan
Love Dad xxx
