In moments of heartbreak, kindness has a way of shining its brightest — and for one local family, the compassion shown by first responders and medical staff has become a source of comfort during an incredibly painful time.
In a heartfelt message shared with the community, a daughter has expressed her deep appreciation for everyone who helped her father on Sunday.
“On behalf of my Mum, my siblings, and myself, we would like to express our greatest gratitude to the Queensland Ambulance, Care Flight Ambulance, and Queensland Fire personnel who came to help my father, Peter, on Sunday,” she wrote.
“Your care and compassion was above any and all expectations and what you did to make him comfortable was amazing.”
Peter sadly passed away in the early hours of Monday morning, but the family says the support shown to him, and to them, will never be forgotten.
They also extended their thanks to the dedicated staff at Awal Medical, including Dr Awal, Dr Bassan and Dr Tara; the teams at Sarina Hospital and Mackay Base Hospital; and the staff at the Discount Drug Store, acknowledging the care given to Peter over many years.
“You have treated him with dignity and respect even when he was impatient and stubborn,” she shared.
Special thanks were offered to Tari and the “amazing nurses at the Base Hospital”, whose “care, kindness, and compassion… will never ever be forgotten.”
“He is going to be sorely missed, and our hearts are shattered, but knowing that he was treated so amazingly makes it hurt a little less.”
