Oh Nan. I am so very sorry to read of Maggie's passing. I was so happy to read she was coming home and never expected this. But how wonderful that she was able to be home with bernie and get to meet her great grandchild. What a joy Maggie was to all of us and the special bond you two shared was a delight to all of us. (fondly remembering some of your infamous late night chats :o) The finest will never quite be the same but I know Maggie will always be there in spirit. Take care dear friend.
Thank you dutchess. It was not so unexpected to me because of my long experience dealing with such events. Maggie was not getting any better and when they released her to go home, I pretty much knew that she would barely make it, and she did. Thank God for the few hours she had with her family around her. She knew that she was "going Home". The last thing she said to me, "I love you too." That was July 4th and we both knew it would be the last time we would speak in this world.
