Jack was eight, born December 11, 1999, and he was a loving caring son whom everybody loved.

He loved staying up late and watching the NRL and his favourite player was Billy Slater who played for Melbourne Storm.

All the girls loved him and his best friend from pre-school he said he was going to marry and have children with her.

Jack was very smart and after deciding to take the kids out of Towamba School and do distance education he excelled and worked so hard at his schooling.

Maddie was seven, born May 3, 2001, and she wanted to be a model when she grew up.

She was always getting dressed up in my good clothes and high heels and practiced walking down the catwalk and stopping to pose.

Maddie was very, very smart and she loved a challenge.

When she was at Towamba School she was always correcting her teacher's spelling.

With her schooling at home all the words she was given she already knew, so I had to give her more challenging words.

The last word she was excited about spelling was bamboozle.

She was so beautiful and loving and her favourite singers were The Veronicas, Annastasia and Avril Lavinge.

Bon was almost 16-months-old, born on March 5, 2007.

He was a beautiful little boy and would wake up six times in the night just for a cuddle with his mum, and was happy to be in the middle of the bed being close.

Bon loved his big brother and sister and always wanted to help them with their schoolwork by trying to draw on their work or ripping their books.

He loved anything to do with engines, chainsaws, cars, trucks, water pumps and lawnmowers, and only a few weeks ago he got his first Hot Wheels car.

He followed you around the house and if I was doing the washing up he would get between me and the cupboard and push me so I would pick him up.
