Dad's Eulogy - Carianne & Shilo Hello, I'm Carianne & I'm Shilo. It is difficult to stand here & put into words how much our Dad meant to us. To us he was known as Dad, or more cheekily, Billy Potter. To the majority of his friends, he was known as Bill in brackets - a nod to his days as a licensee in pubs. The name on the door of the pub had t...

Carianne Jones My dear Billy (cheeky, I know 😘), my beautiful Dad, well I thought after 3 years of missing you, I wouldn't have to go through any more firsts...but here we are. Today is 3 years since we said goodbye but today is the first year I am not there with Mum, Shilo, Chris, Kylah, Sam, Teana, Jayden, Seanna, Aaliyah and Leilani visiting you. Brooke, Chloe, Luc and I know we are all together though in remembering you and the best memories we share together. We were so lucky to have had you as our Dad and Grandad and, in Luc's words, know "you are always locked in our hearts forever" 💖. Loving you always xxx
Carianne Jones One of my favourite Father's Day's spent with you. Oh how I wish I could hug you just one more time, I would know not to ever let go 💞 Love you always and forever xxx
Carianne Jones Another birthday without you. Unfortunately Covid is still ever present and has stopped us from being on the Gold Coast with Mum, Shilo, Chris and the kids but we will raise a glass for you and remember the great memories. We love you always, happy birthday Dad. Love Brooke, Carianne, Chloe and Luc xxx
Christmas Eve 2021...well, Dad we nearly didn't get to have a Christmas this year. Covid has reared its ugly beastly tentacles yet again and has spread like wildfire. Chloe and I got caught up in it, but thankfully after 3 tests between us and isolating while waiting for the results, we are both negative. It's our turn to have Christmas with Vi...

Carianne Jones Merry Christmas Dad, I just love looking back at photos from our last Christmas together. Wouldn't it be great if we could have one more together, but one more still wouldn't be enough. We love you always and forever ❤ xxx
Carianne Jones Happy New Year Dad, let's hope 2022 will be a better year. I truly hope that we are able to live a more "normal" life creating experiences for us all to hold in our minds as special memories. One of our favourite memories is New Years Eve 2017...one of our best but sadly our last with you. One of our favourite photos was this one with you and Chloe, so very special ❤ xxx
Carianne Jones This memory just popped up in my photos Dad. This was when you taught Luc how to fish and he caught his first one. I know this memory holds a very special place in Luc's heart and it made my heart sing with joy when it popped up. I so love seeing these memories again 💖 xxx
Carianne Jones It takes someone special to be called Dad and I had the best. It's been 4 years since we've heard your voice, shared a joke (ahem, "true story"), had a hug but the memories we shared have become pure treasures that we remember every day, that's the easy part. The heartache of missing you is tough and doesn't go away. We love you, we miss you, we will always remember you, Billy Potter 💞 xxx
Catherine Joan Potter Four birthdays without you, today would be your 79th. So much has happened in the past few years, our grandchildren have all grown up & you would be o so proud of them all. I ,of course ,am getting older , living through this time of my life without you is not as we had planned as we thought we would grow old together. All the years we shared has left me with wonderful memories, although very sad , they also give me comfort. I will love you forever. Cathy xxxxx
Merry Christmas Eve to our beautiful Grandad and Dad. Although we aren't on the Gold Coast this year, it was so nice to see Chloe and Luc's excitement waiting to open their presents from Grandma as is tradition for us all with you. Missing you always but know you are always with us. Love you xxx
Catherine Joan Potter 54 years ago , one of the happiest days , the start of our life as Husband & wife. We had planned to grow old together but God had other plans for you to join all in the next life. I miss you so much every day & will love you forever.xxxx
