Yesterday was a very sad day for us. Liz lost her mother, Frances Klaus.
She had been at Alden Terrace Nursing Home in McHenry, Illinois, since July, and under hospice care since early January.
Her condition had been deteriorating for several years before this, and she was unable to move about on her own since September.
She was not suffering, but was extremely unhappy about her condition and had lost over 30 pounds since September and would not eat very much at all. Her vocal ability had also decreased and we were only able to understand about 10 percent of what she said toward the end.
She died very peacefully after a few last gasps. Both Liz and I were present at the time.
We know she is much happier where she is now.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
