7.10.1957 – 10.5.2022
In loving memory of David (Dave) who passed away one year ago – only seems like yesterday.
I never said goodbye to you, Instead I said
” I Love You”…
As you departed on your journey to a place where
life is new.

So, I never said goodbye.
Miss you heaps and thinking of you always.
Loved, treasured, and missed by your partner Bev, and your family Taylor and Jessie, Aaron, Leanne and Dave, Chris, Ashley and Sheree and Loved Poppa Dave to Amelia, Piper and Miley.
