She fell ill while on vacation in April of 2008. She remained hospitalized until her death. Over the past five months she had shown remarkable signs of recovery and was happy with her progress. Saturday morning she had her first cup of tea since before she got sick. Saturday afternoon she took a nap and passed away peacefully in her sleep.

The family wishes express gratitude to our friends and family for their prayers, encouragement and help during this time. We also wish to thank the staff of French Park for their loving care during her convalescence. You all made our lives easier.
