Marilyn, Mom has been an invalid for the last year.... in bed, on oxygen. We knew she was going.
She had COPD (my stepfather smoked 2 packs of Camels every day...in the house, in the car...for 40 years. I think second-hand smoke can cause breathing problems. He died of emphysema. ) - and for the past year
her heart function was less than 20%. She'd become quite deaf too, and often said she was ready to go. No dementia, however.
Yes, she will be greatly missed, is missed, by many people.
Mary Ann, I know you must cherish the time your Mom has left. 93 is also a long time to live. Wishing you both well.
Tom, any news?
