Dragons Abreast Hobart

Chris passed away at about 4.45 pm on 9 January. Luckily we went in this morning as the family were gathering around her, she was comatose, but peaceful, and didn't suffer. We will all miss her very much, she was one of the prime movers, and a very sensible, courageous person who never complained. Hans is bearing up at the moment, exhausted, and maybe things will hit home tomorrow, he wants to stay in touch, which is great, he's also been a stalwart. Moira Cannell
