Delwyn's Funeral

The funeral for Delwyn will be on Thursday 23rd of July, 1:00pm at Delhuntie Park, 21 Cemetery Rd, Trafalgar East. It is hoped it will be more of a celebration of the wonderful life she lived, than mourning her death.

It was Del's wish, that rather than buy flowers to bring to the funeral that people provide a donation to Del's favourite charity. (I'll let you know what that is soon).

We've been touched by the wonderful words of encouragement from so many people all over the world! It is very much appreciated. Her life touched more people than we knew!

Delwyn Passed Away

Delwyn passed away at 4:15pm Eastern Time at home in Trafalgar, Victoria, with a slight smile on her face. She was 29 years old.

Yesterday, (24th of June), Del was too tired to fight the battle against cancer any longer. She had had enough. She let her parents know and then called each of her brothers, in order of age, and said good bye to them! She is now resting in peace, less than 24 hours later!

She has been such a blessing to so many people, and inspired each of us with her courage and strength and love for God. Her faith never wavered.

The next thing she'll know will be Jesus's second coming. I, for one, want to be there! It's my prayer that each of us will be!

I will let you know when the funeral date is decided!

PLEASE spare the family in Trafalgar and don't call them unless it's really necessary. We thank you for your understanding.

Life's struggle

Del is finding the struggle for life quite hard at the moment. It seems like she is pretty worn out and my even wonder if it's all worthwhile. I suspect that may be she's said that it's all too hard.

She is very tired and often not responding to verbal commands and is often struggling to breathe.

I suspect that the end is very near. The family has requested no phone calls and I'll keep this blog updated.

Del is not seeing so well

Del's eyesight is not so good! Her left eye is closed and it's a real struggle to keep her right eye open now too. When it is open, her eye sight is poor. This places quite a challenge for her to read SMS text messages. Probably the best way of communicating with her is to send emails to her parents address info@delhuntie.org.au and they will be able to read them to her. Her hearing is very acute! Seems like there is some compensation happening! She loves phone calls (short ones), but her speech is getting a little slower and her voice is quieter. Her pain management is good keeping her quite comfortable. Her courage is still very strong and her faith and trust in God could never be higher!
