The Life of Mary Philomena Daly - Final Entry

[Noahide]

Final Entry: 8th of March 2022. Mary died on the 28th of February 2022. She had been admitted into Canberra Hospital in early December 2021. It was a stroke to start with, but also a virus and problems with her teeth and other things. She was in hospital a while, but was allowed to go home to stay with Brigid at her place in Calwell. She visited 29 Merriman Crescent a couple of times, but was soon returned to hospital. Towards the end it became apparent that there was likely not long to go, and she was given palliative care with a bed at her daughter Brigid's house in Calwell. She died in the morning at around 8:20 am at Brigid's place in Calwell in Canberra. Just before she came home to Brigid's Greg, Christie & James came over from Perth. Christie stayed with her a night at the hospital, and recalls asking mum 'What do you see'. And mum was saying 'I see God. I see God'. She seemed to be seeing pictures of the afterlife, which I noticed in her final days also from her. The funeral is to be on Wednesday the 9th of March at Holy Family Catholic Church in Gowrie, and she is to be buried at Queanbeyan lawn cemetery. She was 84 years old when she passed, the same age her husband Cyril reached in life, and she will live long in memories.
