I figure **Parthenokinesis** has enough on his mind right now and isn’t likely to update this thread so I’m doing it for him. [From the 'Raffe thread today:](http://www.giraffeboards.com/showpost.php?p=360776&postcount=185) [QUOTE=Parthenokinesis] Maia passed this morning about 11:45. I was with her to the end and had the privilege of having her die in my arms a second time. I have had little sleep in the past few days and am numb and shocky. Home from the hospital now and trying to eat a little something. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and support. “Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight, my sweet, And may flights of angels singe thee to thy rest.” [/QUOTE] A [memorial page](http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Events/HOM-General?pxfid=210817&fr_id=7541&pg=fund) has been set up in **Maia’s** honor on the National Multiple Sclerosis Society website, and any donations or additions to the guest book would be much appreciated. Fare well, **Maia,** blessed be. ---

I’m so sorry for your loss. My condolences to her family and friends. I remember reading posts by Maia’s Well on some of the MS threads and another thread about her (your?) daughter who is gifted artistically. Though she didn’t post often, she was a “real” and vibrant presence on the board. She’ll be missed. ---
