thank you. I truly appreciate having the info, believe me.

another thing i forgot to mention before, that i recently learned, was that chris had been scheduled to attend a party at julien's auction on Nov. 30th. One week before that, she had called to let them know she couldn't make it.

so for me it was nice to know she was still completely cognizant and well enough to make that call herself just a week before she passed. She could not have been in horribly awful shape, which hopefully meant that most of those days that she *did* have were not spent suffering. and of course, in my mind, knowing john was there with her for all that time overrides everything else.

these days when i watch that video of when mick was too sick to play, when they're all having their little meeting at the side of the stage about what to do...the way john's got his hand on her shoulder the whole time always gives me a lump in my throat. such a beautiful, quietly reassuring love.

Wow...it must have all hit her like a lightening bolt. I'm glad there wasn't a long period of suffering/pain.

I had a family friend who was recovering from a knee replacement. She randomly collapsed during physical therapy, weeks after the surgery. At the hospital they discovered cancer that had spread everywhere, she passed within 24 hours.
