I am sorry if anyone felt they were being left out when an earlier thread failed to name the "mystery singer" of the NW who had a stroke. My reasons for not posting earlier were that Mary wasn't able to talk or screen visitors; people here had their hands full trying to work out what to do about her son and deal with her possessions and the forclosure.
In the past I have erred on the side of telling everyone right away, and now that I'm 60 I've gotten slightly more cautious. Emphasis on slightly.
We will keep you all posted as best as we can. Friends that have visited her say she is in good spirits though frustrated by her inability to communicate, and they tell me she can sing already, though her pitch is a little shaky.
Blessings,
Barbara
