BEREAVEMENT

Dear All,  
   
You may be seeing less of me during this week. I have just heard from my sister that our mother died early this morning aged 91 (would have been 92 on April 4th coming up(. I welcome anyone's prayers as it has also come at a time when I am planning for retirement in June and was copying over some of my poems pre the site closing. We will have funeral arrangements to deal with. God bless you all.  
 
UPDATE - Her funeral (cremation) will take place on 15th April, it has been rather long in getting arranged because of bureaucratic business with medical examiner before we could get the death certificate needed to give the undertakers (read morticians in US) the green light. My sisters and I will have some part to take, my only niece and her only granddaughter wants to read a poem chosen to express her love for her.

Author's Note
I have (29 April) corrected some of the earlier detail, as I got reminded she had not (as I thought had happened) died later on the previous day after visiting her. The staff at the time did not think she was dying then though she was suffering a chest infection for which she was medicated. I would have visited as planned on the afternoon of that same Sunday.
