8:00 pm Thursday.
Just got the call from my brother. Dottie died a couple of hours ago.
The timing of the funeral is still uncertain, but will probably be Sunday or Monday. I'll be heading to my home-town of Elmira, New York, probably with my son, Dylan (who just arrived in Portland, on Winter Break, from Ashland, two hours ago).
I am so happy that I was there just before Thanksgiving. She was so proud to be sitting there while I played the piano and her buddies were gathered around.
I am numb.

Barry, I am so sorry for your loss. You were indeed wise and fortunate to have visited her recently - that will be a comfort through your grieving. May her memory be for a blessing.
(Very odd to send condolences through a blog comment, but here we are.)
My sympathies and condolences, Barry...
Thanks, everybody.
