After a ten month battle with her failing in a skilled nursing home in Pasadena, our 99 year old mother passed away peacefully in her sleep late this evening with my sister Linda at her bedside.

Besides the positiveness of a peaceful passing, the last ten months gave our family lots of time to share our goodbyes with her and come to terms with all of the emotions that come with the loss of a mother to three, grandmother to three and great-grandmother to five.

Dominoes battles at The Californian
They became the stuff of legends at her skilled nursing home to the point that she led, and soundly defeated, lots of fellow patients into playing the game.

We cannot thank the doctors, nurses and staff at The Californian enough for the love and support that they all gave our Mom in their care the last ten months.
She is no longer suffering and that has given all of us a modicum of relief.
Rest in Peace, Mom
