A grandmother planned a surprise for her family before passing away from Covid-19 at the hospital.
69-year-old Iris Davies from Wales, UK, wrapped up a series of Christmas gifts before dying from coronavirus at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Ynysmaerdy.
Knowing that her time could come to an end at any given moment, the organized grandma ordered and wrapped Christmas gifts in advance.
As the family explained, Iris was first hospitalized after developing Bronchitis and gastroenteritis. While she was eventually discharged from the hospital and allowed to return home, she was once more admitted to the hospital only to get tested positive for coronavirus.
“My Gran would panic so much over things like not having enough food or the right food for the family we would call her ‘granny panic’ she even made her own Instagram with that as her username,” Molly Evans, the senior lady’s granddaughter, said.
“Anyone who knows my Gran has spoken about her funeral for years she even bought me an expensive bracelet for my 18th birthday ‘just in case she died’ and I ‘have something to remember her’.
“There’s so many more stories to tell but I’ll leave with how amazing it was to have someone love me so fiercely.”
While in the hospital, the doting grandma reportedly even went as far as to order meals for her husband online so that he wouldn’t be hungry while she was hospitalized.
Following the 69-year-old’s passing, Janine Evans, the daughter of Iris, paid a tribute to her generous mom as she suggested their lives will never be the same again after her death.
“We are completely devastated to have to say that we have lost our beautiful mam, gran, wife and friend. She was the best and I don’t think our lives will ever be the same again,” Janine said.
“We would like to thank everybody for their messages of support and all the staff at Royal Glamorgan Hospital both you and her tried so hard but at the end of the day the virus was too much for her.”
