Heartfelt thanks to the compassionate staff at Bupa Ascot and Hospice Southland for their care and support.

A Life Well Lived
A husband’s love, steadfast and true,
A father’s care in all he’d do.
A farmer’s hands, both strong and kind,
A heart of gold, a peaceful mind.
Now in the fields of endless rest,
We honour a life that was simply the best.
