We can honor them by sharing their stories with others. Take care.

Thank you, Hoss and the others with kind words. In the end she was in pain, so at least she is free. But I can't believe she is gone, but almost 102 years is a long mostly happy life and she saw so many things. From the Roaring Twenties to the Internet Age. She used a tablet computer until her eyes no longer allowed it and her mind began to fade. She enjoyed life until the last few months. A good long life well lived.
