3. Uncle Dick 💙 all the memories that I have of you the one that has forever stayed with me is
   “If you don’t take your hypol you will fall off the horse” and yep I did fall off & every time we visited I made sure I took the hypol.
   I can assure you it’s a taste I’ll never forget and definitely a memory I’ve always had.
   Aunty Jean, Pam, Susan, Janene & Keith what a beautiful service you held for Uncle Dick he would be so proud of you all.
   sending my love to you all love always Wendy xx

9. We only got to know Mr. Hards and his amazing wife Jean recently as new neighbours. Incredibly, he was a veteran of World War II and the New Guinea conflict, besides being a lovely man. Being connected to the Army ourselves for many years, we say, "rest easy soldier, your tour of duty is done". All our best for Jean and the family.
