Thank you for letting the forum know, John. Mary had survived several strokes, a few cardiac arrests, she was on an oxygen concentrator machine, and she had a pacemaker. The past four years have been pretty difficult for her, so at least now she is at peace. I had checked on her about 2:00 this morning and adjusted her oxygen flow rate before going to bed. Her part-time sitter arrived about 9:30 AM to find her cold and unresponsive, so we didn't attempt any sort of heroic rescucitation. Apparently, she passed in her sleep without any final distress. We were just a couple of weeks shy of our 50th. anniversary.
