It's Tuesday, the 7th of October. Last night we thought Mom had decided to leave - all signs were there, but she came bouncing back, wanting to go for a walk, eat banana cream pie and have her favorite drink, Postum with canned milk, which Jan had in the house so we were able to get it for her. Although going for a walk was impossible, we were able to get her into a wheel chair today and put her at the front door so she could see out into the beautiful front yard that Janet has. She also wanted her hair done and make-up put on, so as she wished it was done.

Marti is here for the night along with her daughter Shauntay. Mom loves having her baby, Marti, around, it makes her smile. They have a great relationship as she does with all her children. We've been able to do webcam with Ray in Arizona a couple times now, keeping him up on what's going on.

Three of the four living siblings, Doris, Ruth and Pete spend time daily with their sister. All have traveled from Arizona and Texas to visit and spend time as a family. What a great legacy, after 80 years, their still tight!
