For all those who asked about PlatyMom whenever they saw me, I thank you.
She met some SDers who came to the house prior to her decline, and was impressed with the caliber of people I am fortunate to associate with from the site.
It is my sad final duty as her son to tell you all that she died a few hours ago here at home as she wanted to.
I was there at the end, and can assure everyone that she did not suffer, but simply stopped from one moment to the next as the illness she battled for the past year finally won the war. She was 79 years old.

I'm so sorry to hear the final moment has come. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Handle every stresssful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

John,
I'm really sorry to hear PlatyMom has passed. I remember her showing me around the house the one time I did get to meet her; she was truly a gracious lady. She will be missed!

John,
Please excuse my apparent interloping, as we've never met. In fact, this morning is the first time I became aware of this thread, and read from the beginning. Even as I and so many others offer sympathies, prayers and other support I would respectfully add that, based on what I've seen, your Mom's life was also Blessed with (at least one) selfless caring son, and doubtless others whom she touched in a positive and uplifting way. While mourning is natural and inevitable, my guess is she would prefer a celebration of a long life fully lived.
I pray God's Grace will strengthen you and your family through this difficult time.
Brad
