    A Blessing for the Golfer

    May Morning’s scent be green and sweet when you answer ancient call.
    May your grip be gently firm and your eyes stay on the ball.
    May all your drives find fairways and may they travel far.
    May irons find a place to land that helps you make your par.
    May your wedge float high then softly drop.
    May your chips caress the slope.
    May your putts locate that perfect break to always give you hope.

    Love Merryn Jason Mitchell & Lilly xxxx

  20. Celebrating the Life of Garry(Snr)

    Though we will miss Garry deeply, we choose to celebrate the wonderful life he lived and the joy he brought to everyone around him. Garry, alongside Alison, was our first family and neighbor here in Australia, and their friendship has been a true blessing to us.

    We find comfort knowing Garry is now at peace with our Heavenly Father, and one day, we will reunite with him in a joyful, eternal family reunion. His spirit will live on in the beautiful memories we all share.

    Our love and prayers go out to Alison and Garry’s family. May you find strength in this time, knowing how much Garry’s life touched us all.

    Rest peacefully, Garry. You will forever be in our hearts.

    With love,

    Jun, Dandan, Grace, Garry(Jnr) & Asher
