Thanks, everyone. I finally came to grips with the idea that she's really gone. There's going to be a cremation, with a memorial service later one, since she could never abide the notion of being laid out for viewing at a funeral home.

One of her favorite things to do was to get in her car and drive, no particular destination, just going somewhere where she hadn't been to see what's there. I think I may have inherited that hobby from her. After she reached the stage where she couldn't drive long distances on her own, I'd go down Florida, and later, South Carolina, and I'd take her out driving, and those were some of the best trips ever. I know it had to be hard on her once she became bedridden. I'll take a road trip later on this week in her honor.
