To Kylie, Joshua, Benjamin. Kathy, Jim, Darryl, Brett, Craig and Families. Our heartfelt condolences to you all on the very sad passing of your loved one. We have very fond memories of Bradley in his younger years. Love Gail and Paul Gibson and Family. Xx
Dearest Brad, It was a deep shock to learn of your passing, a man with your respect, work ethic and love you hope will live forever. Time has passed Brad, and we have not seen you, however, our memories are only of the strong man we see in this picture. We were both young and driven when we first met, on the road to starting our families alongside each other. You were a fine husband, father, and an incredible provider for your little family. I know this because you worked (2) jobs and one of them was part time for me on weekends and nightshift cutting concrete. Only a driven and strong man, striving for the betterment of his family could hold down 2 very hard jobs to get ahead. You were an easy friend, easy to get along with, easy to talk to, easy to work alongside with impeccable manners and fortitude. We have not been exposed to the ravages of illness that robbed you from the ones you love, but we take comfort when we close our eyes, and the pictures of a strong and wonderful man come alive in our memories. You are a dam fine bloke Brad, an officer, a gentleman and a provider. Our lives will forever be the better for knowing you and sharing you. Rest easy brother. To all of those in the world that were loved by you and touched by you, we offer our deepest sympathies. Rodney and Julie Cotton (New Zealand)
To Joshua, Benjamin, Aunty Kathy, Uncle Jim, Darryl, Brett, Craig and Family, My Deepest Condolences to you all. My heart breaks for you all in this time of grief and my thoughts and prayers are with the whole family and wish I was there to hug you all. With all my love Sandy and Mike ❤️❤️🫂💐
"Miss Me But Let Me Go" By Christina Rossetti When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not for long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that once we shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone. It's all part of the master plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know. Laugh at all the things we used to do Miss me, but let me go.
Josh, Ben, Aunty Kathy, Uncle Jim, Darrell, Brett, Craig and Families. All our love, hugs, prayers and thoughts to you all today. Our beautiful Cousin Bradley is now at peace, no more pain. A huge part of my life these beautiful boys, love them all dearly. This isn’t goodbye Brad but till we meet again Cuz. Love you forever.. Lots of love Den. ❤️❤️🙏🕊️🌟
To The Bates Families, My deepest condolences to you all. It has been an honor to work alongside Brad as his NDIS Support Coordinator for the past two years and I truly admire the strength and courage shown by him throughout his journey. Please know that you are in my thoughts during this very difficult time. Brad touched my heart and life, and I will always remember his resilience and spirit. Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead, knowing Brad is now free from the suffering of this terrible disease. Until there is a Cure there is Care.
