John, the road hasn’t always been smooth, but only love can hurt like this, no matter what, always my brother. Thanks for the last 7 weeks, just wish it had been without so much pain for you. Berni ❤️

November 27, 2022John, I came to know you when you came to care for your Mum & Dad. I was one of the many District Nurses to visit your house. It wasn’t easy, but you did a mighty job. Later, after your Mum passed, you did an even mightier job of being your Dad’s companion. The highlight of his week was a Friday night visit to the RSL.. we would often pass each other when walking..
