An autopsy was performed on Nonno on Friday morning and he died of a blood clot in the heart mainly due to the bad state of his arteries. He died peacefully in his sleep.
The plan is to have a memorial service on Saturday in Southampton, as long as we can get organised in time. I will post exact details and a map in due course. There will be drinks and refreshments afterwards at Vittorio’s house, 5 Ashwood Gardens, Southampton, SO16 7LF.
There will also be another service in Aramengo, but the date of that depends entirely on when we get the permit for repatriation from the Italian Embassy. This can take up to two weeks.
Like for Nonna, Nonno will be repatriated and placed in Italy next to his wife. We ask that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Friends of the Neonatal Unit by cheque or using PayPal via the To The Max website.
