My father and mother came to visit us here in Hobart from South Africa. On 7th of January he had chest pain and at RHH it was discovered that he had a heart attack. After further scans it was reported he needed coronary artery bypass grafts and a mitral valve replacement in his heart. 3 open heart surgeries later about 40 days in ICU on Saturday 24 February 2024 he started bleeding from the wound in his groin were the life support ECMO machine was connected to. He went in for vascular surgery to repair the artery but was unsuccessful. He breathed out his last breath on Sunday morning 25 February 2024 at around 1:30 with me and my mother by his side. He loved every moment during his visit in Tassie so my mother asked if he could be cremated here.

We have occurred so many costs already visa extensions, flight postponement and a possible short fall with the medical insurance.

It would be so great full for any assistance to give me father a special send off.

God bless you all
