\u201cMy dad \u2018Len Garry\u2019 passed away at home in the early hours this morning,\u201d she posted. \u201cThe doctor told us he had hours to live and I said straight away \u2018he has to come home.\u2019 Which the doctor allowed. I travelled with dad in the ambulance and got him home. My mum, my sister, my brother in law and myself stayed by Dad\u2019s bed holding his hand, talking to him and telling him how much we love him and how proud we are of him as he was passing away and taking his last breaths. I love you Dad and I will miss you Dad for the rest of my life. I\u2019m beyond devastated. Dad believed in God and we believe he is in heaven now.\u201d<\/p>\n
