My Brother - Edward Patrick Farmer
Hi everyone,
Just short post tonight to let you all know my dearly loved brother Edward, or Ted to his mates, passed away in the early hours of this morning 12/8/2007 aged 65 years, surrounded by his family.
Edward fought a brave and hard battle with cancer over the last few years. He was diagnosed with Leukaemia 8yrs ago, then late last year had 1/2 of his right lung removed, all appeared to be going well, and his recovery was amazing to say the least. We thought the worst was over, but like the dreaded disease that it is, it reappeared as tumors along his spine approx 8weeks ago. This time it was inoperable, but Ed stayed tough, and never lost hope, right to the very end.
All our hearts go out to Eds family, Wendy his wife of 45yrs, his six children David, Lyndell, Brian, Robyn, Geoffrey, & Allison, their partners and numerous grandchildren.
These are the last photo's I took of Ed, approx. 6 weeks ago on one of my trips to Melbourne.
Your suffering is over little brother, until we meet again

Jeanette - keep those wonderful memories of your brother ever near, and although you are sad that he has gone, be happy that you had those 65 years and the lovely family he left behind.
God bless you all, especially during this very sad and emotional week.
So sorry for the sad news.

I am back from my holidays, it was great but unfortunately I catched a cold in the train !

I remember the pain when I lost my sis to leukemia.. It just wasn't right. I was so angry with God.
tears and hugs for you and yours....
Dear Jeanette,
my sincerest condolences to you and your family. But may I say that your brother's face in those photos shows a happiness that I'm sure was aided by you being there with him. I'm glad you got to see him so recently.
So very sorry for your loss, Jeanette, but your "we'll meet again" says it all!!!! We're all just passing through.
