Hey Shane, 3 years already, seems loike yesterday. Still miss you just the same, always will I guess. Thinking of you always with love and happy memories Mum xxoo

Hi Shane just to let you know I am missing you so much, another Big Day Out and Australia Day has been and gone without you, your friends say it is not the same without you, I reckon they're right, nothing is the same without you, I miss you everyday and will love you forever. Lots of love MUM xxoo

hey shaneo, its been awhile since ive wrote to you, but your always in my thoughts, even more than usual lately for a couple of reasons, one being my move to moffat beach, being back in clowntown brings back all the fun times we had when we lived together, all the good times we had, even the not so good times, i put up the collection of coasters we gathered together on our nights out, they are now on my kitchen wall, and i have about 100 left over, we had soo many. jacko got in town yesty, so its going to be fun to catch up with her, and we're heading to cbx next saty, so that should be grouse, our old stomping ground, bet its changed heaps since it was our local, it feels good to have it back as a local, hopefully i can get there efvery so often. i heard carmen is in town moro, i thought she would be, considerding its been 12months since you were taken from us, and what better way to remember you than to have everyone together, think there is a bbq happeing in your honor, i will cerntainly be having a jimmy with you! i have some in the fridge so sometime 2moro or monday i will come and sit down with you with a can or two. As you already know sam n bretto had their little girl, such a treasure, and the pictures of her are so cute, they really did a good job bringing her into the world, they are going to be great parents. I was driving down the main street of clowntown the other day, and there was this guy leaning on the side of a car, having a ciggie, and was wearign a hat, he looked so much like you, i actually stopped on the other side to have a look at how similar in looks he was, the only difference was he was taller, and wasnt holding his ciggie in the odd way you did. but i was taken a back by it all. I guess i just want you to back with us all i see the likeness in other people. I wonder how andy is doing, i was talking to him a little while ago and he was back in the borough, havnt seen him for a very long time, i hope he is coping with it all, and i can imagine how hard these next couple of days are going to be for your family, and friends, specially those who were closest to you, it still feels like yesterday not 12months ago. well mate, kysha is jumping around wanting attention so i best be off, and will have a jimmy with you in the next day or two... miss you heaps xo

i havnt written anything for awhile, but i do look at your photo's often, i also check this page and the facebook page regulary!! They are doing the new road in front of where you are, so you have to go in a different way... but it worth it. and your head stone is awesome... your personality really comes through... and the picture of sox sitting on top was the best.. looking after you, your little gaurd dog.... I miss you heaps, its funni tho cose we drifted apart and only spoke a cpl time while you were in sydney, but we shared that time in caloundra together and even though it had its ups n downs, i felt we really got to know each other... and will never forgot the memories.. I often think how carmen is going? but she is strong... and your family is just as strong, every time i talk to your mum i feel sad for her, but she seems to be coping and always has a smile on her face, i just hope that behind doors in private she isnt a mess.... hard not to be though.... and randy andy.. hehe he was so your rock the day of the funeral, i was soo proud of him... well best be off.. just wanted you to know that even tho i dont visit often or write often i still think of you everyday... xoxo

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane I would walk right up to meet you and bring you home again... Missing you like crazy Shaneo... Such a loving n caring person who should still be here with all who love you!! xoxo

happy birthday to you shaneo, i had a bourbon for you, and listened to some of your fav tunes, acdc was def in there, thinking of you heaps.... sorry i didnt make it to the bbq or the dinner at the pub, but i did do a celebration on my own, and def had jimmy!! missing you loads, wishing you were here... xoxoxo

It will be be your birthday on June 30th I will be thinking of you all day, remembering the time we had together, I miss you Shane and that feeling of loss just will not go away. Happy birthday my darling boy, I love you mum xxoo

well it's carmens bday today, and im sure it would be a very hard day for her. i do hope she found happiness today of all days, and that you were looking over her, as im sure you do everyday! i really do like her, its just a shame we had to meet the way we did, i do plan to go to sydney some time and visit the girl that made you happy! i am coming back to the burra round the time of your birthday and will see her than. missing you loads bianca n kysha xo xo xo xo xo xo

i bet it would have been hard for your mum on mothers day, being the first without you, i was thinking of her all day and you also. I do hope you were looking over her, and if possible made your presence known. missing you bianca n kysha

Oh well the first mothers day without you, I don't know how I'll go, but I will try to be strong for you Shane, I know that is what you would want. I love you and miss you everyday and will be thinking of you this /our day mothers day . love Mumx xoo

your flags are flying high, your aussie spirit showing thru! i went and saw you while i was on the sunny coast, was so sad as it made it all seem so much more real. yet it was great to see the aussie flags and all the love everyone has for you. i didnt leave anything this time around but i have the jimbeam car tin that i know you would have had, i thought about bringing it to put there but i like having it on my ledge at home, everytime i walk past it and see it im reminded of you. and its nice... we always use to go halfs in a 6pack of bourbon when we didnt want to drink a while heap, or when we were both to poor/tight to buy a 6pack ourselves... missing you bianca

why do the good ones get taken from us? why did you get taken away from us when you had so much more to give? so much more life to live? i think someone up there has their priorities wrong. but i guess to get through it and to stop asking why, i have to think you were taken from us to help someone more improtant, someone who needed you more than anyone here! that you not alone and not scared!! and i do hope you are looking over everyone who loved you, now i know that is alot of people, but we all still need to know you are there looking out for us!! missing you each and every day bianca n kysha

You did grow into a fine young man, i was proud to be your mum RIP Shane until we meet again.

HAHA yes! i'm sure he was the only one who appreciated my charcole steak i tried to cook us that one time bee ever let me in our kitchen , was the only way i could cook it....and at macca's, 'i'll have a cheese burger, meat and cheese only' - every time! ..so many memories, the time he ate a pea and almost chundered out the window! or that day he was really hungover and did vomit out the window and it splattered all down the side haha ! .He did like our straz and cheese sanga's but!

bad eating habits, i had tried all my life to feed him, especially vegetables all to no avail. his loving mum fiona

shaneo mate, it saddens me to know your not just in sydney, or not just on a holiday, that your just not coming back!! i think about you everyday, something always reminds me of you. wish you were here now, yabbing away in my ear!! iid prolly still tell you to shutup, but id want the chance.. my heart goes out to all those who knew you, you touched so many hearts, and there are so many broken hearted people out here that miss you!! keep looking over us xoxoxoxo Bianca xo missing you mate!!

i always hated cooking for you mate, if it had flavour you wouldnt eat it, if it had vegeis you wouldnt touch it. Burnt steak and plain chips is how you had it. twas always funni watching you explain to the waiters, when ordering a meal out, "i dont want vegies, I dont want salad, and i dont want any sauce except tomato" lol.... you might as well have ordered a kids meal, Dull Dull Dull.. hehe but what i wouldnt get to have the fussiness back.. missing you heaps Bianca xoxo
