I'm so sorry to hear that Sam. I'm sending all of the prayers I received
this week straight up to you and Ramona.

Last night, my dear wife's Mom passed away. She had had Alzheimer's
for
about 5 years and had been slowly going downhill. In some ways it was
a
relief that she was out of her suffering, but it's always hard to "let
Mom
go". Her Dad had passed away last April so it was just her Mom.

Ramona (DW) had been going down for two months 3 times a year to give
her
older sister some respite from tending to their mother (we live in
Seattle,
WA, USA - northwest corner of the "lower 48") and her parents live in
Alabama (Southeast US). She's been doing this for about 4 years now,
and
had been down staying with her Mom for almost a month this trip.
Fortunately, she was there during Mom's "final moments". When her Dad
passed away, she was here (Seattle) so she didn't really get to "say
goodbye" in quite the same way.

Anyway, any purrs and prayers of comfort you can spare would be
greatly
appreciated.
Sam
