To Abby, Sonny, Lenny, Graeme and Gel;

My heart pours for you and towards you at this time. Matty really was one of the best blokes getting around.

Whether it was green-tree frog and wombat pool, eating white bait after the saloon, rocking up at Pete and Di’s like we lived there, rolling home from the wedding, to the many random phone calls since then.

I will miss you mate. We were meant to talk 2 weeks ago and damn, I wish I had of picked up that phone and dialled.

Rest easy my friend. I am sure there is more than 1 type of cheese in heaven.

Lots of love to you all and always,

Abbey (McKeckas)

To my beautiful dear friend Abby & your boys Lenny & Sonny who we cherish so much. I still have limited words other than “I’ve got you, we’ve got you”

Fly high mate.
