I always think it’s funny how something so small can be so deadly but alas, following key hole surgery just over two weeks ago to remove a cancerous growth (and then further surgery to determine why the first surgery had caused such massive complications), my dear Aunt M succumbed to sepsis yesterday leaving behind a husband and four daughters.
My Aunt M was a fantastic woman who never forgot a birthday and always sent a card even if it was something as minor as a driving test passed. If ever family or a family friend needed somewhere to stay, Aunt M’s door was never closed and she always seemed happy to see you. With her, my Uncle V and my four cousins, there was never a dull moment and she always had a sense of fun with any excuse for a party or celebration being seized and then some.
It’s a cliche but the world is most certainly a worse place without her however I know that following the ordeal of dialysis and respirators in intensive care, she is at the very least now at peace.
We’ll miss you, Aunt M.
