Usually the Blog is a happy place, but sadly, the reality of life is not always cheery. On Thursday my beautiful Uncle Noel lost his life after a morning surf on the Gold Coast. He is already terribly missed by so many. I wanted to share with you a gorgeous poem written by his family...With a heavy heart we say goodbye
To a beautiful man and a wonderful life
Those big strong shoulders that carried so much
Your lovely hands so warm to touch
Your smile and laughter rings in our ears
What we would give to have you here
Your life cut short we cannot believe
That you are gone,
our pillar of strength
But to have lost you while skiing a wave
On a break at Currumbin, still so brave
Makes your passing a little easier to bear
With sand in your toes and salt in your hair
May you now rest in peace on the waves above
and know you will always have our love
We love you and miss you so much already...
.....Your loving wife Loris and family
Such a tragic loss of a truly gorgeous man. Sending loads of love to my beautiful Nan, my gorgeous Dad and all of our beautiful family in Melbourne x o x o Miss ya Uncle Noely! xxxx
