My Mom (aka: "Grammy")

Hi, friends.  As some of you know, my mom (Fletcher & Leigh's "Grammy") passed away on December 12th. 

She was diagnosed with stage 4, non-hodgkins lymphoma in August.  The cancer was very aggressive, and it didn't help that her kidneys were functioning very poorly from the start.  She was in a lot of pain throughout the entire illness.                     

We moved her to Hospice's Christopher House, here in Austin, on December 6th.  She was very comfortable in her last days.  Hospice is awesome.

The family saw her interred on new year's eve at Texas State Veteran's Cemetery in Killeen. 

Grammy loved all her grandchildren so much!  We are lucky that she got to meet Leigh before she passed.

Love to you all!  May 2010 be a better year!
