On the 28th of march my family where at my grandparents farm just north of port pirie, we where helping them clear the property. My eldest son was picking mandarins from the large tree near the home and found a balloon entwined in the branches. On further investigation we discovered it was released in honor of Troy on his first anniversary. I thought you would like to know the heart warming  message attached was from Troy's mum. In honor of Troy and to help keep his memory alive we purchased another balloon and attached his card before releasing it. God bless Troy's family, Joanna Bortyard

My daughters and I were walking on the beach when camping at the Gap and I have no idea why but i thought of Troy and we wrote his name in the sand thought id send photo hope its ok

Troy's balloon was found in a paddock near Arthurton just north of Maitland so honoured we can contribute to the memory of your very special son love to all your family
