Laura’s folks came down from Ashfield last night, dropped the kids off at friends for an overnight (joy!), and are here now before Laura goes to pre-op. Laura’s doing just fine. No pain. Good sleep. Just a couple minor headaches. May post here as things proceed.

This site is dedicated to the memory of Laura and is now mostly an archive of her 15-month struggle with cancer as told by her husband David and other family. A brief background of her case is found in the About section. Family photos dating back five years can be found in the main photos section. There are two slideshow retrospectives of Laura throughout her life. A collaborative tribute effort is woefully incomplete and I encourage your help.

We are here, right next to the screen, and right next to you in some way. I hope her pains subside shortly after the surgery. Irene.

A bed finally opened up in the neurology wing and Laura was moved out of post-op to “Wesson 4”. She can be reached there via the nurse’s station at 413-794-5381. She will probably be moved elsewhere tomorrow and may be released Saturday or Sunday.
She’s in terrific shape.
