Yesterday, around 3:30 in the afternoon, Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep. She left in the same way that she lived her life, with dignity and grace.
Cathy, Joe and I want to thank everyone for their gestures of love and support. We know that they brightened her day and gave her great comfort.
At Mom's request there will be no funeral services and no memorial. In lieu of flowers, she requested donations be made to the American Cancer Society in her name. In her words "not to just lung cancer, but to all cancer". Link provided below. At some point, the three of us will be taking her to KY to be buried with Daddy. We are still working out the logistics.

I think I've said before that Mom has good days and bad days. Well, this week she had two bad days in a row (Mon & Tues). However, yesterday was much better. So, much so - that she wanted wine at 2:30 this morning! Believe me, wielding a corkscrew when you're half asleep is not a good thing!! Then, she takes a big, long drink and complains that it burns!! She kills me.
She's really tired today (maybe from the partying last night?) and is looking forward to Joe being here this weekend.

Well all her vital signs are stable. She still has no appetite and it is a struggle to find something she might like to eat! I'm pushing the herbs, hoping she'll get munchy - but she just seems be too tired to eat. She does keep her spirits and sense of humor, even though she's feeling so poorly. Is always great to see her smile!!

Well the daffodils are in bloom, and Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob are here. Mom's been in pretty good spirits, although kind of tired. Her appetite comes and goes, you never know from one day to the next. She sleeps quite a bit and she's still hoping for the Goldfinches!
