re: -, family death
all in all it was probably about the best way to go that there could be, she was already at peace with the idea of dying and we had multiple days to say goodbye... all her friends and family were able to be there by phone if not in person, and people from the assisted living center were apparently talking about how much of a positive influence she was there--enough so that some people who hadn't even been employed there for years came to say goodbye. I guess what i'm saying is, she was a great person and well loved by everyone around her, and she went peacefully without any regrets
