Early the morning of May 24, 2004, my mother passed away from complications stemming from an aortic aneurysm at the age of 63.
The outpouring of support, whether through financial, floral, or simply emotional means, has been enormously appreciated, and it will continue to be as we embark on the most difficult, ongoing part of the process (and I'm not just talking about stretching our pennies to pay for all the expenses for the services and such without the support of insurance benefits)--reassembling our lives in her absence.
The family would like to extend extra special thanks to the following individuals for their kind and generous words and gestures of support.
