Life changes so quickly. Only 22 days ago we were celebrating my Mother’s 97th Birthday. Today at exactly 8am she departed this life while Dot and I were sitting with her. Since having a flu injection 3 weeks ago she quickly deteriorated. Spending up to 12 hours at her bedside every night for the last week today was time for her to finally let go. Thanks for everything Mum.
We are a retired couple who after living abroad for 5 years are now living in Levin, New Zealand. From October 2006 we cruised the inland waterways of Britain. We sold Narrowboat Gypsy Rover in July 2010 and continued our travels around the UK in our new Motorhome. In August 2011 we returned to New Zealand ahead of our motorhome which arrived in October. Although now land based we will be continuing our travels throughout New Zealand when time allows.

Thinking of you as you adjust to being an orphan. So much to give thanks for - her lifetime and your life and everything else.
May you and she know peace and may she rise in glory.
Thoughts with you. Elly and Mick
Many thanks to you all for your kind thoughts at this sad time.
