I'm so sorry to read this news. I'm glad that you are all there to provide the in person support as needed and only wish I was close enough to do the same. I'll be thinking of you all.

Small detail clarification:

The second letter of T's name is NOT an "h". I sent addy's to some people earlier with an "h" in her name and that is not correct.

*hugs*

Sympathy & Hugs
 

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dolores was so kind and sweet talking to me about my dad's cancer. She was warm and friendly and hugged me because we already had this common bond between us. She was lovely.

Through my tears I know that cancer is done hurting her now.

I wish I could help or say something, just as we all wish we could. I know there is nothing that can fix this. I just wish I could hug you, T.

I'm home at the moment. T and I were waiting for our lunch to arrive when Ken called with the news. There were no tears yet, just a relief that she was a peace and no longer in the immense pain she was feeling. I think when her and K left LV they said their goodbyes then and that was a great thing to be able to do.

Delores waited to let go until she was alone as people sometimes do. She knew T & K were safe at home, her other children were safe and her dear husband had just left the hospice to go home for a bit. She probably felt that she could quietly leave without people being there to witness it. She knew she was dearly loved and loved her family back immensly.

When I left, Susan was with her and Ken would be home soon. They are supposed to go see Morri's show tonight. Tomorrow, they have an appointment in the morning and K goes to work at 10:30. Susan may go over in the AM but has to work later in the day. I will be working all day but have invited T to play with puppies all day with me if she'd like. She did mention going to the Park at some point, so if someone is available before the weekend to accompany her, that might be nice.

They will be off to LV on Saturday morning, returning Sunday night.

We spent the day talking about death and all of the funny and tragic things that families do to each other during this incredibly stressful time. I told her my story of my Dad's death and all of the ridiculous (and retrospectively funny) things that happened. We were actually laugh quite a bit. Sometimes, it's all you CAN do.

I'm very glad Delores is no longer suffering and is a peace and enjoying the Disneyland in Heaven.

I'm free. I'd need a sign-in to get into the park, but I'm more than willing if it can be made to work.

Thanks for sending that message along. I know it will be appreciated.

I'm sorry :(

I don't know what else to add to the chorus other than my voice of support and sympathy to T and the family. I am here should you need me.

I hope when we all meet as a group we have the opportunity to raise our glasses to the memory of a wonderful person.
