Hello ROWers,
once again, it’s the end of the week and that means it’s time for the ROW80 Sunday Check-In.
I received some sad news from New Zealand yesterday.
Denise, the mother of the host mum I stayed with back when I was an exchange student in 2003, passed away yesterday aged 66. She was a loving, kind lady with a fighter spirit, enduring many ailments and setbacks with good humour and optimism. A fighter to her last breath, she sadly succumbed to complications from cancer in her sleep. I hold many fond memories of time spent with Denise, and I will always cherish them and remember her the way she was. Here she is with her husband, on New Year’s Day 2004, the way I knew her:
I hope she is now at peace, and my thoughts are with my New Zealand family.
Study. Read. Write.
