  4. Sad news indeed. At least she was able to see him recently on the trip to Tasmania. I remember how very proud he looked walking her down the aisle on her wedding day. 😢

    Oh that’s so terribly sad. To be on the other side of the world and not be able to be with a parent as they die is so very sad. I have loved every public moment where we have had the chance to see or hear from her Dad. He seemed to be such a clever, loving, caring and gentle man.

    Jag tycker det inte är riktigt rätt att ta upp Marys fars bortgång på den här sidan.
    Någonstans glömmer vi bort att det är den privata sidan i hennes familj.
    Av respekt för Mary och faderns med familj ta bort inlägget.
