We thought this might turn out to be the last of so, so many trips to see Betty in Asheville and latterly on St Simon’s Island. Although Mary tried to speak to her on the phone every single day, we know how how much these visits meant to her and this last sad visit was no exception. We took her out for lunch on each of our 6 days there and on most of them she was able to communicate well with us. Here she is listening to a little piano solo her great grandson Oliver recorded for her and sent on line.
Two days after we left she was admitted to a hospice and never left it dying 10 days or so later Janie taking up an almost permanent spot at her bedside.
We plan on a memorial service in Braemar in August 2022 when the family will be gathering anyway following the final Munro party.
