Francie's mother died this morning. It was a long time coming, but still a shock when it actually happened.
3 weeks ago, she felt the chill, and asked us to come up (to Orono) to see her. Which of course we did. And moved her to the nursing wing while we were there, because she'd taken some bad falls, and didn't meet the requirements for even Assisted Living. And she took it all with grace and actually good humor. But really, she was ready to go, and we were surprised she lasted past Mothers' Day.
1928-12-26 -- 2016-05-10 Requiescat In Pace, Mary Kirk Surprenant.
She didn't want a funeral service, and Francie's sister is dealing with a load of other shit (see: fuck cancer), so it's going to be a while before we have a proper send-off.
