Sad Loss
Every Year we come to Victoria to visit family for Christmas.
Since the birth of our daughter this has become a very special time for her to get to know her family but it has also been important for us to come and visit 'Nan' (Sam's Grandmother Elsie).
Sadly this year when we arrived at her place for Christmas lunch Nan had to be taken away by ambulance with severe back and stomach pain.
This turned out to be an aneurysm in her aorta artery which was now over 9cm across. Nan also had a serious lung condition.
Although she was taken to hospital in a serious condition Nan insisted on returning to her room at Bellarine Court where she felt at home and could enjoy the company of her friends and relatives.
Just after 12:00 am on the 29th of December at the age of 84 Elsie Rodgers Passed away. She will be greatly missed by her many friends loved ones and various organizations of which she was a member.
Nan was the matriarch of her clan and the last of our grandparents to pass away; she contributed a great deal to my wife's musical education and her love of music is a legacy that has been passed on to our daughter.
Goodbye Nan we will miss you greatly.
