Sending all my love, I am sorry I cannot be there in person to celebrate Errol's life. I have such fond memories of growing up with Uncle Errol as a constant in my life. With adjacent farms Karyn and I would always be at one house or the other and Uncle Errol was always kind and funny, having a chuckle over some joke, playing tricks and enjoying life. I enjoyed catching up with Frances and Errol on my trips home and am really grateful I got to see him in April - at the time I was sure I would be seeing him again...
He will be sadly missed, gone too soon. I am sure Errol and Dad are having a massive catch up now and both keeping an eye on us! xxx
