Dear Tom, Becky, and Susan--I was sorry to hear of your mother's death today (March 5). I remember nodding my head in agreement (from my own experiences) with Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" when she said, in pain, that death is pretty and peaceful compared to dying! I know you have all been through a lot and for a long time. May your days be at peace now as I know your mother is at rest and relieved of her suffering. Best, Connie
