Family Pays Emotional Tribute
“Lachlan’s smile was truly infectious, lighting up any room he entered. It wasn’t just his mouth that smiled – his eyes sparkled with joy and warmth. He made everyone around him happy with his cheeky charm. In keeping with the kind and selfless person he was, Lachlan was an organ donor, and even now he continues to help others. I am going to be lost without my sidekick. Fly high, my Hot Chochlan.”
