Someone on the thread knew and made contact with her son a while back and said she was OK, no other info was provided. I sent her a Christmas card last year and received one back. I say a prayer for her periodically, that she is healthy and happy.
That was me, though I don't know her son; tracked him & his university email down from a tidbit of info about his job provided by another freeper. Got an email back from her; and we exchanged Christmas cards, but haven't heard anything since.
