Thank you from the Ladouce family

Dear friends and colleagues, 

We, the Ladouce family, wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your compassion and invaluable support during this extremely sad time.

To all of you who brought us food every day, your kind gestures helped to sustain us through those incredibly challenging days. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To all of you who donated money, your generosity has allowed us to return Rasheed to his homeland, where in the presence of his loving mother, Marinette, father, Joseph, brother, Tyrone, his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family, he will be laid to rest. Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude for the kindness, care and generosity you have all demonstrated.  

To all of Rasheed's friends who put in all the time and care in organising the touching memorial to celebrate Rasheed's life, we thank you for the love you have shown our beautiful boy.

Unfortunately, we cannot thank all of you individually; however, rest assured, we appreciate the efforts of every single one of you. The fact that so many people participated positively in helping our family cope with Rasheed's departure, helped with putting together the memorial service and donated to his repatriation fund, is testament to the impact our beloved Rasheed has had on so many lives and how loved he was by his St Philip’s, OLSH and Alice Springs family.

We thank you all for the support, kind words (written and spoken), the hugs, the shoulders to lean and cry on over these past few weeks. Please accept our sincerest gratitude and know that you are deeply appreciated. 

With love and gratitude, 

~ The Ladouce Family
