Karen’s Mother Dies

Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 4:18am EDT

Karen’s mother died. She had a stroke and heart attack many years ago. For the last eleven years she battled COPD.

She told Karen’s sister, Sharon, that she kept hearing Karen call her saying, ‘Mom, Mom.’

Karen’s Father Has a Heart Attack

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

Today was Karen’s mother’s funeral. Karen’s father had a heart attack at the funeral. He was taken from the funeral via ambulance. While I look for reasons to not attend funerals, having to go to the hospital to help with his admission is not a good way.

I had planned on being in Durham since last Friday. I asked the family if they wanted me to stay or to keep my appointment with the Dean at Duke. They said I could do nothing here and maybe I could do something of value there. The family thought I’d do more good seeing the Dean at Duke than sitting in the waiting room at the hospital with them.

(I saw Karen’s Dad yesterday on the 4th of July, 2014, he is doing well now.)
