Merciful journeys end

After 6 days on the palliative care ward, Chris passed away peacefully at 8pm on 27/08/2018.

The family had been called to the hospital at 8am as Chris’s condition had deteriorated and it was only a matter of time. We stayed at his bedside and shared his last hours with some of his/our close friends and mates.

Chris, in his own inimitable style choose the moment. He waited till Sharon and I had left the hospital. I was fumbling at the front door to find the key in the dark when I got the phone call from Robyn to say that he had just passed away. She and Ian were with him. His passing was peaceful.

RIP dear husband, father, poppy, brother, uncle and friend.
