237. You're very welcome. I revisited that page today

Jul 2014

and found that a lot had been added to it, so it's hard to find the place I was referring to. Here's what it says:

"According to her son, Eric, she began having trouble breathing at home Wednesday morning. She managed to call for an ambulance but by the time it arrived, it was pretty much too late. No details yet on why she had trouble breathing, although she’d been physically ill for a while, thanks in large part to being too broke to afford health insurance premiums."


They have also posted a more recent photo of her, and a link to her obituary.

There is no obituary - that I can find - yet n/t bloom Jul 2014 #61

That's fine. closeupready Jul 2014 #121
I can appreciate the sensitivity. It is still hard for me to speak of my parents' deaths.. hlthe2b Jul 2014 #162
