The number of tumors she had in her liver, lungs and esophagus were higher than we'd realized. She died at peace on a morphine, with all of her children around her. I owe so much to my mom. She was the one who sparked my music interests and knowledge from an early age. She played ragtime and blues piano at night while we were going to sleep. She played folk, rock, opera and symphonic music continually. She had a huge library of all types of books, and grew up with the luxury of reading everything and anything. She was always encouraging and a good friend as well as a mother. I am sad because I will miss her presence, but I am sadder still that she only lived 68 years. Still difficult to believe she is not here. I am at work this week because of deadlines and because the distraction of work will help. I am extremely scattered, though, and if you talk to me I might not make much sense. Thank you for your kind thoughts. ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V8 #246 *********************************
