The Tapp family wish to thank everyone who has continued to support us as we grieve for our beautiful Ezra.
This is the worst possible tragedy for us but we are thankful for the many kind words and the help we have received from the community as we struggle to come to terms with losing our much loved "Ezee-bear".
We continue to ask for privacy so that we can grieve as a family and ask that media please respect that we do not wish to make any further comment at this time.
ENDS
Media note: The Tapp family have asked Police to pass on their request that media not attend, photograph or film the church funeral service, as this is a private occasion for family and friends. They also ask that media do not approach them for comment.
