Most grateful to her nephew Jacques who rang me with the bad news and invited us to say goodbye before the body is taken to be used in a teaching hospital, as she wished. He is hoping to arrange a small event for her friends here at the weekend. Will report when I know.
As he said; it is wonderful that she didn't live to face a lingering illness or the use of a wheelchair but went suddenly - after an afternoon of Scrabble, aged 90, in a place she enjoyed.
This was the book on her bedside table. Very Andree. She did everything well.
A wise old lady. June also died this year. I'm glad they could meet each other.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that. At whatever great age, they leave a huge hole, these old dears... feel as if I've lost my rudder. You too? See you here soon I hope, I'm never sure when you are coming or indeed going. x
