I JUST signed on to let you know that between 1:30 and 2:00 this afternoon Charlotte passed away.
Please thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes.
She did not seem to suffer until this last day. Starting last night she seemed to be in pain and frightened. We held her as much as she could tolerate. And sat with her, comforting her with touch and voice as much as possible. I made her comfortable with a soft towel and her own personal room heater in the bathroom. She knew she was loved and was not alone.
