My heart breaks for you. Sending lots of love and prayers to you all.

My family didn’t have the pleasure of knowing your Lachie or your family but we are a MG family and have many mutual friends as part of the Parkdale and Mentone community.
There are no words that could express the heart break we have felt for your son and your family for the loss you have had. You have been in our constant thoughts and prayers and will continue to be so.
Whilst it is no consolation, your beautiful son was truly a gift and has clearly had more of an impact in his unfairly cut short life, than many have in their 80+ years. Such an inspiring young man and a family that did him and themselves so proud in the hardest of times.
God bless you all. Rest peacefully dear Lachlan,
Love and prayers, Nicki, Teaghan (MG 2016) and Brennan (MG Yr 7)

The memories made and hearts you touched
Nothing can erase
Rest well beautiful Lachie, you will be loved and missed forever
Much love to you all

My family didn’t have the pleasure of knowing your Lachie or your family but we are a MG family and have many mutual friends as part of the Parkdale and Mentone community.
There are no words that could express the heart break we have felt for your son and your family for the loss you have had. You have been in our constant thoughts and prayers and will continue to be so.
Whilst it is no consolation, your beautiful son was truly a gift and has clearly had more of an impact in his unfairly cut short life, than many have in their 80+ years. Such an inspiring young man and a family that did him and themselves so proud in the hardest of times.
God bless you all. Rest peacefully dear Lachlan,
