To everyone,
Catherine passed away quietly this morning at 10:52. I was at her side, and I can tell you that she left the way she was hoping it would go. She looked absolutely beautiful when I arrived this morning just before 8:00am. The staff had given her an early morning bath. She was laying comfortably in crisp clean white sheets. She looked as though she was taking a pleasant nap.
As the morning went on, her breath began to slow down until almost imperceptibly it stopped. Our courageous friend is completely at peace now. She loved me the rest of her life, and now I will love her the rest of mine.
Scott
P.S. We are making arrangements this afternoon for calling hours, and I will post another blog with the details as soon as we have them set. Thank you all for your wonderful support.
Scott,
ReplyDeleteMay I use Cathy's address to send a "piggy"?

Dear Scott, I just found this blog, two years after you wrote it, and I am weeping for your dear girl and for you. You were lucky to have each other. I hope you are well. Hugs to you.
