Sad news

Postby wendy » 29 Feb 2016, 18:02

Grommits daughter phoned me today to say that Derek passed away last week.
The cancer had progressed rapidly across his body.
I asked how Jean was doing and she explained that she is doing very nicely in a new care home.
Jean has settled in well and takes every day as it comes.
Please think of the family at this sad time.

I did not explain that because Jean is so ill with dementia she will not understand what has happened.
