4. “To my family, may you be comforted by the enormous outpour of love surrounding you.
   Geff was the father I always wanted and was fortunate to find through Gav.
   Pulled me into line when I needed it.

   Sending you all strength today and peace in all the days ahead.

5. One day we live, one day we die
   One day we laugh, one day we cry...
   Today we cry...
   It is with sadness that I learn this sad news...
   When I met you, I was destitute, eating from supermarket dumpsters. You gave me the chance to succeed despite my broken English.
   You welcomed me into your family, took me on vacation to King Ash Bay where I almost got eaten by a crocodile, you helped me grow. And you allowed me to save a few dollars that have now enabled me to have my own business today.
   For all this, Geoff, I thank you immensely.
   I hope to one day return to your lands to show them to my future children.
   My heartfelt thoughts today are with your entire family, Marlène, your children, and your grandchildren.
   I send you all my compassion during this difficult time ❤️

14. A true gentleman who accepted me for who I was. I remember asking Geff if I could marry his daughter....he said "what if I said no", then said that would make me a very happy man, Marlene would be very happy too. I still remember that day, as that was the day I gained another mother and father.
    Thank you. I'll miss the chats. Phil 💔
