With absolute sadness I announce the loss of both of Gavin Hooper grandparents.
We are so heartbroken and this is going to affect our lives emmensly. These people weren't just Gavs grandparents but they were our rocks, our world and our entire family throught the past 15 years and theyve treated gavin as one of there own since birth..even though they are really great grandma and grandpa to our kids they've always been they're only grandma and grandpa 💙 they were there to teach our children to read write.. u name it they helped us with it.. this is our time to repay them and give them the time and love that they deserve and as much as we'd love for life to go on, it's just going to take us time so please patience would be greatly appreciated
In saying that please don't hesitate to call, text, email and I'll try my best to get back to you.
Gavin will be in Chinchilla tomorrow so if urgent please try and contact me before entering the workshop as he needs to work to get his mind of things and take time to write and prepare a eulogy. (He just needs to be in his space)
If there's anything I've missed sorry please comment or as I said call text (prefer text at this time) but otherwise,
Our apologise and well be back on board as soon as we can 😥❤️❤️
For a quick rumdown on what's happened
Neil had been struggling with parkinsons for years. It's had rapidly increased over the last few weeks without anyone realising.
Beth was his primary carer, with a little help here and there. She was a tough independent woman who was very stubborn also, with saying that we don't no how long she'd been feeling unwell for.
After a daily phone call with her daughter (Sue) Sue realised something was wrong so called 000 and rushed over finding Bwth with a swollen lip and very delusional not knowing where or pretty much who she was. Both of them spent the night I'm Emergeny l, got put into wards at the Toowoomba Base and then the next morning Beth suffered a nearly 5 minute seizure. Putting her into and induced coma. She spent days in Toowoomba Base ICU showing small prices of hope. We had them nothe transferred to St Vincent's. By then Neil had determined even more and then was put into palliative care while Beth was still I'm ICU showing small signs of hope. Scans came back and had showed she had quite amount of her brain eaten away from fluid caused by a virus.
Neil passed peacefully with Gavin (his best friend son grandson all in one) by his side Friday 7/01/2023
Beth was taken off all the machines/fluids and then put on palliative but still remained in ICU..I was by her side all night and then when I walked out of the room to go to the bathroom at 6am she passed.. peacefully
It's a sad but beautiful love story and I will he forever greatful to them both for everything ❤️ 💖
