RIP old mate. How about a memorial at the tree?

Grunge

I can get a cross made.

Andrew H

Yeah we need a cross and flowers at the tree.

Jack

Pen doesn’t like crosses.

Grunge

As if youd no.

Bertha

No memorial near Old Man, just leave him be.

Lionel

I agree Bertha, that’s what a cemetery’s for.

Andrew H

Your right. Just cut the tree down.

Grunge

Good one Andrew H

Bertha

Why would you want a memorial at the place your loved one was killed at? It’s a place of devastation and distruction and carnage. There’s nothing nice about such a place.

Mr Bunnings

Maybe it’s a reminder to go steady Bertha. Just my 2 cents worth.

Chrissie Lucas

Only one person was holding the steering wheel, can’t believe Rob did that to his own brother.

Carol Huchie

Chrissie Lucas it was an accident. Rob didn’t even know Pen was under the tarp.

Sarah

It wasn’t there fault. If anything it was the tree’s fault. They were going down to Brizzy. Rob and Joey were just clowning around like they always do.

The Butcher

They were trying to drift. That bend has a reverse camber, perfect for drifting if you get it right. Unfortunately the driver buggered up. It won’t be the first or the last time it happens because you young people continue to be dickheads and push boundaries.

Carol Huchie

Thinking of you Dave, you’re a great dad. One boy with the angels and one in hospital, hang in there love xx.

The Butcher

Great dad?

Carol Huchie

What does that mean?

The Butcher

It means he was a dealer. He may not have started it all but it didn’t take him long to take over. How do you reckon he’s paying for that big house out at The Retreat?

Andrew H

He’s a successful builder.

Carol Huchie

Your wrong butcher.

The Butcher

Is that right Carol Huchie, loyalty goes a long way when you’re a faithful customer.

That’s why there were heaps of cops searching Dave’s sheds.

The first time we saw the fireflies last night, it was bigger than I could ever imagine. We’re absolutely positive Pen was part of the magic. Rest in Peace mate xxxx

P.S. Hi Mrs Mac, there’s lots of spelling mistakes in the memorial page feed, but that’s how I wanted it. That’s how we talk and text and write. You said to be authentic so tada!
