Obtaining values from a reference cell in a different column and row

Thanks for any help in advance.

I have a large spreadsheet that has a lot of junk in it. There are X amount of occurances of the phrase "Page 6". For each occurance of page 6, I must gather data from cells located above it, and in columns to the left of it. For Example:

If "Page 6" is located in position (r,c), I need data from (r-3,c-2) and (r-2,c-1)...with r for row and c for column. The actual values for rows and columns I need are slightly different, but that's a small change. I have provided an example to illustrate my point,it should be pretty easy to just glance at.

Key assumptions:
"Page 6" Always occurs in the same column, such as column D.
The necessary values are always in the same position relative to the phrase "Page 6".
There will always be at least one "Page 6" per sheet, so no need for error checking.
There is NO set relationship between different "Page 6"'s...which is why this task is a bit difficult for me.

I feel like this would be pretty easy with for loops, a counter based on the number of Page 6's, and some cell reference manipulation. However, I can't seem to put it all together.

Thanks a lot Rylo, that's pretty much exactly what I needed. I need to change a couple of things for the actual application, but they should be quick changes which I can change myself off your code. You have no idea how much time you saved me.
