Shwea has joined the family
Ann's dear dog Shwea became very ill and had to be put to sleep on Friday, July 30th. She was with her dear Aunt Mary, Deb and Barb, in her own home. She went very peacefully, she was so weak and tired. She is now with Ann, Linda, Linus and the rest.

Love to you all: June 1, 2010
It looks as though my kidneys have taken a major turn for the worse, and what looked liked weeks may now be days. Maybe a day.
Yesterday offered such an array of bad news, I don't know where to begin, but the details don't really matter--I'm dying far sooner than I thought. Yesterday the doctors gave me 1-3 days, and I will likely be slowly dying. From kidney disease caused by the multiple myeloma.
Please know I am not afraid of dying. What I am is is sad that I am going to be missing a big chunk of this wonderful, messy, loving and beautiful thing we call life.
To those of you who are friends reading this for the first time after I died, I'm sorry. I've been working on it, but I couldn't help it. Sorry!
Put my obituary today today, so look for it in the Daily Hampshire Gazette in early June, friends.
My friend Val will be updating this re regarding this regarding the funeral and such.
Thank you so much for your support and love over the course of my illness. Love to the nth to you all, Ann and the Bombshell
