Growing up with the Bottrell Family was one of the greatest things, the adventures on the Block, but Frog was always quick with the come backs, he was always so gentle and willing to help.
He has remained a true friend to my father and it was great to catch up when my sister and I were in Mildura in May, he took time out of his day to attend our Mums funeral,
May you rest in Gods hands.
To Joy, Keith, Sam and Glenn and Paul’s partner Jill, from my family to yours our deepest condolences during this time. I am praying for you all in this season.
Much Love and Peace
Jodi
