PARKES, John
It is with great sadness you have gone out of our lives.
You had so much more to live for. My last words to you were "I'll always be there for our Son Nicholas and Daughter Melanie, and our beautiful grandchildren".
Our memories will last a lifetime. We will all miss you so very much.

Much love, Christine.
