  12. Damien is one of the eldest 1st cousins .
    I Am forever greatful to have spent time with Damien and all ( his brothers n sister) plus my other cousins as free spirited children in our youth. Family mattered – we did not discriminate or no such things in these times – born from a level of inclusivity I guess . Whether by blood or by neighbours , community was a valid thing in our day we were always one. Very fond memories shared way back in our youth and then again a few years ago on Sunshine Coast where we had super time.
    More recently , we had 1 on 1 drive times around the Warrnambool region late November 2025 and a chance at giggling plus family catch-up times.
    Damien was very strong and brave and as a result he held on with courage.
    He was pure of heart n devotion .
    Sending prayers to all family at this time
    Sincerely, cuz Susan
