drcpunk's mother passed away this morning, September 5, at 8:10 AM.

Funeral arrangements are still to be made (as Lisa, her brother Eric, and I are all on vacation at the moment), but are likely to be on Wednesday morning.

A bittersweet farewell (as Marylinn had been in the late stages of dementia and entubulated for the last few years of her life; a living death), but it is what it is.

Lisa's (drcpunk's) dad died today, about 3 weeks after he went into the hospital with what turned out to be multiple major organ failures. The funeral will be tomorrow (or maybe monday) at a time to be determined, on Staten Island (directions are here).
