Kalamunda II, New Road, Belton, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk

Lily and ‘Ernie’ enjoyed a relaxed lifestyle in Belton, where ‘Ernie’ played
bowls, and together with Lily, kept their garden immaculately tidy. ‘Ernie’
was a heavy cigarette smoker, who struggled to give up his addiction,
until his health started to deteriorate.

Lily and ‘Ernie’ Caswell, July 2005

‘Ernie’ developed ‘Parkinson’s Disease’ and this, together with respiratory
and cardiac problems, made him increasingly frail, and immobile. His
wife, Lily, nursed him, and was his constant companion, until he entered
the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, followed by The Heathers Nursing
Home, Bradwell, where he died.
