In the old-fashioned words, Phobia, she’s gone to her reward. God rest her soul and bless you for being a loving friend. Catrandom ---

Instead of going out for supper after the visitation, we decided to grill out. There was a 30 person remembrance party going on. “Remember when…” I left about 10:00 pm. The service and burial is tomorrow. The night she died, I scanned, edited, and enlarged pictures for the visitation. I have some nice pictures of her from when she was happy and her normal self. They will be burned to cd. I’ll print some for myself later. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/goodby-its-been-a-hard-battle/16479.md?page=1)
