Story

Tony was 71 when he died from heart failure. His children brought him home from hospital so he could spend his last few days in the comfort of his own home and to be surrounded by family. In his last few days Tony was cared for by Hospice at Home carers from St. Catherine’s. They treated him with respect and gave him the dignity he deserved right up to and on his dying day. They made sure he was comfortable and pain free. The carers also made sure the family were coping and gave them recommendations. They were invaluable.
Family and friends were everything to Tony, he loved being surrounded by them. For fun Tony enjoyed having a flutter on the horses and playing cards with his friends in his local pub. Though after losing his wife of nearly 47 years in February nothing was the same for him and he just wanted to be with his loving wife Tina again.

Thinking of all the family at this terribly sad time but especially Tony’s grandchildren who have not only lost their beloved Papa but also their beautiful Nana, in such a short space of time. May they rest in peace and eternal sunshine together x
