In Memoriam - Maire is no longer with us here on Earth. She had suffered with a colostomy bag for several years after an intestinal cancer was removed but never properly sealed up. Recently ALS was added to her burdens, with weakness and pain everywhere, a little worse each day... She opted for medically assisted euthanasia and left us yesterday. Tim and I are devastated.
