From Chris Precey

The following has been received from Chief Sparker Chris Precey.

This is to let you know that I am now entering a new phase in my life. My lifelong companion, Jan, not only no longer sleeps in the same bed as I do, she does not sleep in the same abode. As of 30th December, she is domiciled in the secure dementia unit in the Julia Wallace Retirement Village here in Palmerston North where she is now being cared for far better than I could. Her dementia certainly took a turn for the worse after having had covid in early August. Also, my health was going downhill and I was finding that I could not cope very well. It was probably the toughest decision I have ever made, but with family support, it had to be made.

I wish you and your family and all the comms association and especially all those who knew Jan, all the very best for 2023 and hope that the year goes well for everyone.
