You were more than a partner; you were my team-mate and my best friend. Every day you showed me what true companionship looked like – kindness, patience, laughter and unwavering support. From daily routines to spontaneous adventures, every memory was a treasure. You made life feel fuller, brighter and warmer. Even in disagreements, there was respect and love. The bond we shared remains untouched by the passage of time. This tribute is about the love I will always have for you, the love that shaped us, comforted us and gave me strength to carry on.

You are forever in our hearts, until we meet again!

Andrew Winslow Pedican

Sunrise: January 21st, 1948 : Sunset: January 30th, 2023

If Roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for us. Place them in our Father’s arms And tell him, they’re from us. Tell him that we love and miss him, And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy, We do it everyday, But there’s an ache within our hearts, That will never go away.

Love you Dad, Your children, grand-children and The Pedican Family
