God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away
And although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

To Bec, Dig, Marli, Lottie and all the Carlin family,
So very sorry for the loss of your dearly loved Dad and Pop. May he rest peacefully. Wish we could be with you all today.
Love Maggie, Bron, Stella and Harrison XxxSorry to hear of the passing of John. He was a great person to work with at Terang High School. John always had a pleasant manner and interesting conversation. He had a great family and will be sadly missed.
John, Mum’s first cousin and our neighbour at Glenormiston North for many years. Our sympathy to all of John and Glenda’s family and to John’s brothers and Loretta……Sincerely from the family of the late Annie and Leo Lourey.
May you rest in Peace, Cousin John. Your passing filtered through to me in New Zealand and it was wonderful to view your Celebration of Life and toe tap along to the music that ‘our Mothers, the Mahony sisters’ loved too. To John & Glenda’s family our heartfelt condolences.
Maria (nee Russell) & Stewart CouttsDeepest sympathy to the Carlin family. Many very happy memories of time spent at Carlin’s farm in Glenormiston. I feel certain that Bugs will be waiting at the pearly gates with a “tinnie” for John. Great guy gone to God. –

Deepest Sympathy to Carlin Family on the loss of John. Many great memories of time spent at Carlin’s farm, Glenormiston Nth. I’m sure Bugs would have been waiting at the Pearly Gates with a “tinnie” for John.
Re-united with Glenda.Kay (Gleeson) Rendell + Gleeson Families.
So sorry we were unable to pay tribute to your father John. He was such a lovely man and we visited him in Mortlake with St. V de Paul. Oh course John and I had the special connection both suffering from Parkinson’s. I must say we did enjoy the celebration of his life on the webpage. The three tenors most amusing.
Glenda and I would often talk about our male dominated households. However I only had five sons!
With love from Bernadette &Des McKinnon
