Sad News

Thank you all so much for your well wishes, it means so much to Bonnie and I.
Rob passed away late afternoon (New Zealand time) on Wednesday, due to complications after the op, they tried to relieve pressure on his brain due to the swelling, but it was too late, they discovered he was brain dead, so my sister in law had his life support switched off as he had wanted this if anything had gone wrong. I am grateful that Laurie, my sister in law, had time to be with him and say goodbye. She is a very strong person and so far is coping. She has a beautiful little daughter and needs to be strong for her too. I have happy memories of Rob, we were so fortunate to spend a holiday together in December, and those are the memories I have of him, a healthy fun loving person. We will miss him terribly. Bonnie and I are not flying to New Zealand anymore, my dad needs us and I am instead flying to Cape Town early next week to spend time with my family. Laurie has her family to support her there. Life is so unpredictable and unfortunately death is part of life and we have to deal with it and go on.

I will not be around much the next week , we just need time to deal with the sadness.
