She had been failing for some time, partly from early Alzheimer's, partly from simply wearing out. We had moved her into a brand new retirement apt., gorgeous building, near my brother,and where we all could see her more often.

She seemed to be coming along, making the adjustment slowly, and feeling a bit like a princess in her lovely new digs. Brand new everything...nearly all of her furniture was new, new linens, towels, etc. She looked cute as a button sitting in her little gold club chair as she surveyed her new home..

Unfortunately her heart just gave out, and she died on Friday, Oct

1. We had the burial on this past Saturday, in order for all of the family to make it in from various spots in Ontario, and my niece from Duke University.

For all of you who have lost a mother, you know what this is like. I miss her terribly. I keep wanting to call her to chat, but she's not there. I think the shock of her dying so suddenly was the most difficult, just as we had moved her, and were hoping for at least a few good, happy months,

Thanks to all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.

And what I didn't say last night, as I was so tired (and some of you have asked) is that she died quickly and peacefully, in her new apartment. We could not get there in time, but she was almost gone when the EMS got there, and they tried to revive her on the way to hospital,, but when she did not respond after awhile, they let her go. It was just her time.

Mom made it clear for years that she did not want to be kept alive artificially, and she got her wish (and ours).

I spoke to her an hour before she died, and we had an upbeat, happy conversation. She was chipper and sharp as a tack. For this I am very grateful.

I am thankful for so many things: for the quick passing, for her life, for her legacy, and for the hundreds of photographs and newspaper clippings she kept about everybody''s life. She loved people. As I go through these memories, I will think of her with love.

Thanks to all of you sweet ladies, especially from those who have their own recent losses.

You are wonderful!

Thanks,

Lynne In Toronto
