> She was a 30-year sufferer of systemic lupus erythromatosis,
> multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia syndrome, and her last year

> to speak. She had been in constant pain for the last several
> years, and the painkillers were not always able to take care of
> it.
> 
> She showed constant and extraordinary fortitude and strength of
> spirit, never complaining as the diseases took first her sight,
> then her ability to walk, then her ability to use a wheelchair,
> then her ability to care for herself, then her ability to speak,
> and, finally, her life.
> 
> She was born 07 October 1937, and died today, 13 November 2001,
> aged 64.

> She will be missed by everyone who knew her, but no one should

> 
> She is survived by her two sons, John and Hugh, and by her
> younger daughter Abigail, and was preceded in death by her elder
> daughter Jennifer.
> 
> Please join me in saying farewell to an outstanding example of
> all the good qualities in humankind.
