Lucca GIBBONS Obituary

In loving memory of Lucca Mac Gibbons, dearly loved and cherished son of Anna and Kent and adored brother of Bella, Eliana and Matteo. A treasured grandson and nephew. Lucca will be sorely missed by his 20 beloved cousins. A wonderful, caring and generous friend to many. Lucca's life was far too short but the beautiful impact he made will last for ever.

He will always be in our hearts.

A service to celebrate Lucca's bright and beautiful life will be held on Friday, June 14, 1.00pm, at St Andrews College Chapel, 347 Papanui Road, Strowan, Christchurch.

Dear Anna, Kent, Bella, Eliana, Matteo and families.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven´s love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem´ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don´t waste a breath, don´t shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don´t wait for me
Above the universe you´ll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won´t forget

My sincere and heartfelt condolences on the unexpected passing of Lucca.

Kevin.
