Always in my heart
I watched the new Pan movie with your grand daughters recently and there is a line in the movie where a young Pan says to his Mother "how do you miss someone you have never met?"
It is a question I have asked myself often, you see although we never met there is not one day that has gone by or will go by in my lifetime that you are not in my thoughts, my prayers and my heart
So Dad I just want you to know that Remembrance Day for me is everyday, and that I will love and miss you always and forever
Hugs and Kisses

I worked with Lex at OPSM Wickham Tce, Brisbane Qld till his deployment to Vietnam. He rang me before he left and said he would catch up when he returned. Sadly that wasn't to be. I think of Lex often and specially on ANZAC DAY. RIP Lex
