Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Nonna passed away at about 1am. She had been suffering a steady decline since Bumpa's passing a few years ago. At 88, she finally decided it was time to shuffle off to the next great adventure. She was waiting (although unconscious) for her brother Vince, who she had not seen for over 30+ years. Within an hour of his visit to her bedside (he flew up from Melbourne), she gave up her battle.

I managed to point the Mary Rose skywards at one point during the evening from my backyard. What a beautiful sky. I thought it very fitting that my favourite constellation Sagittarius glistened from the zenith around the time of her passing. What better "hurrah" than that?
