MY father, Thomas, was admitted to the Royal Gwent Hospital on May 12, where sadly, he died on May 26.

I would like to thank the sister and nursing team on D3 East for the care they gave Dad and the consideration for us at what was a very difficult time.

He wanted to be nursed by the professionals rather than by us at home and he got his wish at the end of a full and happy 91 years.

Thank you to all who dealt with him.
