Godfrey, commiserations and deepest sympathy. Cotts
>Friends on the PDML, > >My mother has passed away at the age of 84 after a protracted period >of failing health. I'll be traveling to New York today to attend the >services and help my brothers wrap up affairs. I'll not have much >time to look at things for a bit. > >I visited her at the beginning of December so we could share some >time together while she was still able and smiling. She was alert and >able to talk until just a couple of days ago, I was able to talk to >her on the phone Wednesday and say a last good-bye. Her consciousness >faded on Thursday. Yesterday one of my brothers was in attendance at >her side when she went softly to sleep and gently stopped breathing >for the last time. She was a remarkable person ... even beyond being >my mother and putting up with me... with tremendous strength of will >and a huge heart. She suffered many adversities in her life with guts >and good humor, always with the best intent for those around her and >never a thought for herself. > >We will all miss her and hold her memory dearly. > >Godfrey > >"Only in silence the word, > only in dark the light, > only in dying, life; > bright the hawk's flight > on the empty sky." - Song of Ea, U.
