Bless you and your mother, Jerry. I've been without internet for a few days until this evening and I was afraid I'd miss her passing. (In my part time job I have internet so when I had time I checked a couple of threads of the 'Cat)

Anyway I'm happy that she's still being herself. She's giving you lots of future stories about her eventual passing! Bless her heart.

By the way, I'm with you- I think she will be steeped in love and beauty the moment she steps foot, so to speak, on the other shore. I don't think of Death as the Enemy- it is a Gate.
