Congrats Chloe + Kyle =
Chloe used the great weirdo quote today by Dr Seuss, “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love”
That view from is pretty special and guests from all over SEQ declared it ‘the best place for a wedding’

The Final Goodbye for Carmel C**k
Carmel C**k was a devoted wife to Byron, loving mother of Michelle and Chris and AJ and Mandy, such a caring Grandma to Jack and Lucy and a fun loving sister of Christine, Colleen and Lionie
She fought against MS for so long and it's now vital to continue to help the amazing work MS Australia does for so many, I know things are tight, so if all of you put just $2 towards MS, imagine the different we can all make

BREAKING NEWS from The Last Goodbye Gazette
Bob Forrest was a keen golfer, so a few words just for Bob...
As eighteen flags flew at half mast,
and�Glasses were soberly raised high�
The latest member was having a ball�
At the golf course in the sky

Freed from the gravity of the situation�
The first tee shot soared through space�
Bringing a wondrous, beaming smile�
To a kind, down to earth face

Surrounded by old club friends�
Once thought never to be seen again�
The infinity course beckoned ahead�
Eighteen holes were for mere mortal men

I'm always so honoured to be there for families when they need to have their for the ones they love
Brad Farr's wife and kids stayed afterwards to read the messages to Brad written on his coffin
Leo Angelakos' son stayed by him until he wanted to leave - a first for me too, learning a little to say twice in the service
Callum Harper had a Piper play him into and out of the outdoor chapel at and for his Final Goodbye at Graveside

Songs that made the service
Hotel California - The Eagles
The song is a classic and as we left the chapel of Michael James' service, The Eagles were blasting through the speakers....why?
It's a classic, his wife said 'he was a classic and loved The Eagles, so we've gotta play a classic song'
No matter the song, no matter the mood, make it about THEM!
That way, the song will make the service.

Countless people have asked how you and Dad met, assuming you were one of his close friends - your send off was so perfect.
We loved it.

A real honour to celebrate Clemmy or Flogger as he was known to his mates
Operations manager at TAA and QantasLink for many years and even in PNG. When you celebrate someone’s life, do things differently - Clemmy loved so the family knocked one back before they said their own goodbyes and they signed his coffin with a personal message
