Mum and dad came to visit for the last time from 1st November - 3rd December 2012. Dads memory was deteriorating through vascular dementia. He passed away in April 2014. Visiting the Botanical Gardens He also celebrated his 76th birthday here with us. We enjoyed a picnic at Sandy Bay beach It was great spending this time with him, creating new memories for everyone involved, it was heartbreaking to see them leave, the next time we would see dad was while he was in the care home and just before he passed.
