I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m glad that she is no longer in pain and suffering, though I know that it can be a small comfort when you are grieving.

You can get through this, but I’m sorry you have to.

Thank you all very much. It’s difficult to sleep tonight.

**Mr. Durden** , it started with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia 16 years ago. But what took her yesterday was congestive heart failure and her kidneys gave out.

I appreciate the wonderful thoughts, my friends. Thank you again, so much.

**Rico** may you remember her in the best of life, not in the pain that is no longer a part of her.
