RIP Gav

R.I.P. Gav - 21/9/2011 - Our beloved Gavin Larkin passed away this afternoon at 3.28pm. He was surrounded by his family and the love that he has created. He will never be forgotten for who he was, how he lived and what he has left behind. I know I speak on behalf of all that knew him when I say Gav, thank you for being you. The world is a better place for having had you in it.
The Larkin family would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this blog. The messages have been a constant source of support and wonderful memories that the family will cherish forever. They have been overwhelmed by all the good wishes, lovely words, food & flowers. The community around Gavin, Maryanne, Gus, Josie and Van has been wonderful and made an enormous difference. Thank you to all.

May we suggest, if you would like to offer further support, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to one of the following nominated causes: RUOK? Day Donations or Cure For Life

Hi Gav
You don't know me, but I feel as if I know you after following your blog and watching Australian Story. I am a friend of your mums and have spent a few fun times at the farm in the Hunter (think Maureen fun!) and a more than a few great christmas eves at Lyns lovely unit in Bronte. I just have to say what an incredibly brave, courageous and honest person you are and what you have achieved in your life most people could not achieve if they lived to be 100. Know that your lovely amazing Maz will be in good hands with your loving family and friends. What we can all learn from your courage and strength is to communicate our love and feelings for each other everyday and never be afraid to ask are you ok? To Maz, and your beautiful children, Maureen, Geoff and all your close and loving family we send much love to you and want you to know how much we think about you.

A final thought on your life Gav, not only have you learn 't how to live - but you have learnt how to accept the finality of your disease with such dignity, love and strength beyond words.
love
Sheila Abrahams
