We Lost a Good Neighbour

Our next door neighbour died from cancer on Sunday evening. Norman was 79 years old and he and his wife were our neighbours for 30 years, moving in about one year after we did. They were very good neighbours. Up until a few months ago they permanently had a key to our house and Norman always looked after our house while we were away. As Norman's health worsened they were fortunate that both daughters and their son live in the city, and some of the family was almost always at their house over the last while. They had to take Norman to palliative care on last Thursday and he passed away Sunday. The funeral is on Thursday morning and Elaine and I are planning to attend.
