Pearl Harbor Day - December 7, 1999

Paige passed away at 1:30pm today in as peaceful a manner as I could have ever envisioned. Pastor Rob from church was there and had just lead a prayer with her, Joan and me. Paige was clearly in there and cognizant. She was struggling to speak but the morphine and accumulated stress of the week had taken their toll, and it was all she could do to acknowledge your presence. She had gone 25 days without food by this point, and had put forth a Herculean effort to get this far. I'm still amazed at just what she had in her. Her spirit never bowed, and she went out her way, fighting.
