Mamma Vienna's Music Collection

It's Working!  Mom's Rhapsody music account plays on my smart-phone!
How nice :).

It is a struggle though to keep from going down the "dark side".  A conscious effort to go towards the good memories this music brings, seeing mom as she in vacant but magical air conducts the invisible orchestra and singers of her own treasured musical memories - all with that Mona-Lisa smile on her face.



Stay there Dave. Time to move past the pain and cultivate the joy remembering her brings.

Hi Julie:  
  I just forwarded to mom some good Jewish humor before I read your e-mail.  But I would have sent it anyway, and hope it gives her some enjoyment.  Am thinking of her, and hope that all goes well with her.  Love to both of you, Phil

Hi all there is no good way to say that Dr. Mom has in home Hospice care – started last Friday after a stay at Cleveland Clinic last week.

She is comfortable, no pain, doing emails but not taking many calls in between sleeping.

I know you would want to know and I will keep you informed.

Love, Julie
