Rae Knerr Monday Update

Mom continues to hang in there. She had a few rough moments around 5 a.m. this morning and Peg called us in but she stabilized after a bit of morphine and has been comfortable all day. She has had a lot of friends and relatives drop by today to say their good byes. It is 7 p.m. and Peg is taking a much needed break. Will continue our vigil here and keep you all posted.

Auntie Rae did it right, she remained active throughout her life. So classic Auntie Rae, preparing to go out to play bridge! She shall be missed even though we haven't had the chance to recently meet. Auntie Rae's presence was always felt by us even this far away in Indonesia with good memories of the times we had together. Love, Don & Ita - Jakarta

Thank you Molly and Don. I am on momwatch tonight so have some time to reply to comments. Mom continues to linger on and is sleeping peacefully. The nurses here are a special breed - so caring amongst all the grief and sorrow. I don't know how they do it. It has been a week now since mom's stroke and the family is more ready now than we were originally.. Peg even went home tonight - only the second night since this started. She has had her hands full the last 11 years but has also enjoyed having Mom around to see new great grandchildren hatch, plan Mom bd parties and do other fun things with her.

I'm looking at Rae's piano, and appreciating her music in the piano bench! I think it was about 20 years ago when it was delivered to our home. All three of our boys are musicians. Thank you, Rae!
