Kay Friedman, 1935-2021

My mother had been in poor health and in and out of hospitals since mid-September (see previous post), and I'd been spending most of my time in the Chicago area to support her. She had been dreading but hoping for a good result from a couple of scheduled surgeries in early December, but it was not to be; her body just gave out on her.

She died quietly on November 26, the day after Thanksgiving and a week after her 86th birthday, both family events that she enjoyed.

I will miss her so much.

So sorry for your loss. It must have been a hard time for you. But I take hope from the word "Quietly". And also that she saw family at the end.

I'm so sorry, and so glad she squeezed in a couple more family parties before she left.
