May she rest well knowing that her son has a wide ranging and multitude of friends who will help him carry this grief in their hearts.

While the fight was ferocious, the passing sounds peaceful...  I am glad that you could be there with her...

Rest easy, ma'am.

I am so sorry to read of your loss.  But like others hear I am heartened that you made it back to say goodbye.

I'm glad everything fell into place for your trip back, Pogue -- living long enough for you to be with her before she crossed was her gift to you, but I believe it won't be her last gift...

Requiescas, Ma'am. Requiescas...
