Dear Louise
We’ve known each other forever. I’m so terribly sorry that this has happened. It’s beyond tragic.
I loved seeing you both in January.
In the times ahead, please reach out. I’ll be there.
With love, Elisé

Dear Lou and you extended family..
Moments you had together for ever cherished…. Found this Irish Poem….

“A Letter From Heaven”
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes, filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right there in your heart…
one more….

Remembering Me
To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon the shore
Gazing at the beautiful sea, remember me
As you look in awe at a mighty forest
And in its grand majesty, remember me
Remember me in your hearts,
In your thoughts, and the memories of the
Times we loved, the times we cried,
the battle we fought and the times we laughed
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone.

Dear Lou and all of Gerard’s family.

It was a pleasure to have worked on and off with Gerard from my very first month on road at Northcote to random shifts in his last few years at Eltham. He was always fun and sometimes hilariously inappropriate on shift, making the day speed on by. He spoke of you often on shift Lou, I felt like I knew a small part of you despite never actually meeting you in person.

My deepest condolences to you all on Gerard’s tragic and untimely passing.

Warmest regards
Cheryl Jessop

It feels like only yesterday that we first met at the AOTC on the 23/10/1981 and now it is so sad that I will not have the chance to see you one more time, I can remember the last conversation I had with you almost verbatim, I will always see that smile with the twinkle in the eye forever, thoughts and wishes go to your whole community of family and friends

Warm, kind and generous.
A great ambo.
An wonderful character.
An absolute legend.
Gone and never forgotten.
An unbelievable shock to us all.
My loving thoughts are with you Lou and your family.

RIP Gerard, Long time since we crossed paths, but remember you for what you were. A true gentleman and dedicated Ambo. You didn’t deserve this, as you earned a long and enjoyable retirement. Rest in Peace.

Gerard you were truly a beautiful person. Thank you for all your loving care over the the years and for always being there when I needed someone to lean on. No one could wish for a better friend. My heart goes out to you Lou, and all those that loved this remarkable sweet man.

Such a tragic loss. Very happy memories of working with you at Northcote branch during the late 80’s, always an entertaining shift. I’m sorry we never got around to chasing those whiting off Coronet Bay as we planned. RIP Gerard

Dear Lou,
I’m so very sorry on the loss of Gerard. I always enjoyed catching up with Gerard at hospitals and having a laugh. On every single occasion he spoke of you, your family and his beloved dogs. A wonderful man never forgotten xxx
