Her Journey Continues

the first thing i realize is how much i appreciate her negative qualities

she was ruthless . incorrigible . she had a sharp tongue . she could be hurtful and mean . remarkably resilient . she knew how to roll with the punches . go down . and come back feisty and snotty and spunky as ever

she had a lot of pizazz and was incredibily forgiving

she had 94 years and a colourful life

her death was quick, peaceful, and pain free

ciao, bella

dearest ikat,

I know that you are both sad and joyful. sad for the loss and joyful for the gifts she gave. no more tears.

Katherine,

I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. Thanks for telling us a bit about her both on the blog and over the DW years. She raised a fascinating and talented daughter; she must have been that way herself. I am so glad her passing was the way you describe.

Big hug to you,
Kate
