Mom died at approximately 8 PM tonight. I was the one to discover her, taking over the night watch at her bedside. Linda and Chuck had seen her alive when they left for dinner around 7 PM.
The Charge Nurse confirmed no pulse, and no respiration at 2010, five minutes after I had arrived at 2005. The resident confirmed it minutes later.
She died peacefully, and relaxed. No signs of pain or distress were present.
The nun (Sister Maureen) and I said a prayer for her.
Linda is the executrix/Personal Representative of her will. Funeral arrangements are being made for the prepaid funeral at Ziegenhein Funeral Home on Gravois:

Further details will be posted as they become available. The ceremony will have a closed casket, at Mom's request. Mom also requested no flowers be sent, and that donations be made instead to the Schleroderma Foundation:
