Sad news
I have just been informed that Heather passed away last night after her life support was withdrawn. The funeral will be after 14th August when her overseas children who have arrived in Perth come out of quarantine.

Yes, she never blamed him though she knew all his faults. Blamed it on alcohol. Its her friends who were furious with him - not her!
When he was in terminal hepatic coma and the doctors had given up she rushed around trying to get compatible blood and kept pumping it into him. She's truly an example of unconditional love - generous to a fault!
So happy she had it returned to her from her devoted children. They must be devastated. I havent been able to contact any.

Nalini,
I just read your email to Buddy, I knew she had a number of children but it was just5.
After med school I met her in Australia after she lost one of her sons in SL.
She told me about all the things she had to do to bring up her children and how well they are all doing.
It was an incredible story a mother’s love and commitment to her children. I had heard about her husband’s indifference. But Heather did not have one bad word for him.
Very sad. Her children must be devastated.
Hope Daya and you are well. How is the COVID situation in SL.
Love
Kamalini

Thanks Philip for sharing the sad news of the death of another of our batch mates- Heather.
ReplyDeleteWe can only offer our deepest sympathies to her surviving family.
So moving to read all the heart breaking comments from most of her batch mates domiciled in Down Under.
May she rest in peace.
