signs that led us to realize time was getting shorter. In September, she had a stroke. After she
returned to her nursing home she was only eating about one quarter of her meals. Realizing
that this was her body gradually shutting down, my brother, sister-in-law and I knew it was
time to see her. Sally and her family were also planning to go to St. Louis at the same time.
Thursday, September 30, we were making plans to leave the next day. Because of previous
work-related commitments, Lynne was going to St. Louis the following weekend. Friday
morning, Diane and I were finishing our packing and Jim was getting the cat ready to take to
her kitty-sitters. When the phone rang, and I saw my sister's ID, I knew why she was calling.
There was no other reason for her to call since we would be there in a matter of hours.
