  6. Sending love and thoughts to the entire Blackwood family x

    I had the special privilege of caring for Ron as a nurse at Koo Wee Rup Regional Health Service. Ron was a very much loved resident who will be dearly missed! You could see in his eyes that 20 year old Ron never left him from within. His body was tired but his mind kept us all on our toes! Ron, I hope that your R) hip never gives you grief again, it was a bugger and caused much grief but you’re free of it now! Thank you for sharing your spark with us all x
