John LUDBROOK Memoriam
LUDBROOK, John Wilson 8/5/1940 - 30/3/2014. John we didn't get to give you a tribute at your funeral. We wanted a much larger platform and here it is. You came into Wilma's life 28 years ago and there you remained. In Wilma you found the 'Love of your Life' as declared by you often, Wilma had all the fine qualities you were longing for - Christian morals, faithful, intelligent, kind, beautiful, generous, hardworking and loads of fun plus so much more - she was your best friend. You shared many wonderful memorable times together throughout your long standing marriage and you became very much involved with us - Wilma's children and grandchildren whom will always look upon you as their Grandad John. Unfortunately good health was not your forte and you struggled for many years with heart related problems, Wilma dutifully attended on her own to all your care giving requirements, sadly compromising her own health. Wilma passed away 9/12/2013 and the impact her passing had on your health and emotional demeanour was clearly evident, you missed her so very much, we all do. Knowing you as well as I did/do John, I know that you would want to, on behalf of the Ludbrook family, thank Wilma, as your friend I will gladly do that for you John. "Thank you" Wilma Clare Ludbrook for being John's guardian angel while here on earth and may you both live on in eternity as "One in the bond of Love".
Happy Mother's Day Mum - Love you.
Bless you both.
Love your family.
