Sorry for your loss, Dan and Clara. I can understand her not being able to beat the habit, it took me five attempts cold turkey to do it, and it was ROUGH.
I feel awful for those who have lost loved ones during this time, the grieving customs are all on hold at the moment.

We lost a Dear One last night. Clara's mother left us after nearly 93 years! Short hospitalization due to complications with COPD, not Covid related. 78 years of smoking can do that to you; rumor within the family is she taught the Marlboro Man to smoke! She never could beat the habit, yet until the last couple years it really never impacted her quality of life; one of the lucky ones.
She will be missed, was full of life and lived it well. Mother of 11, 27 Grandchildren, 42 Grandchildren (if you include the 2 still in the oven) and 4 or 5 Great Grandchildren. One of our best memories was putting the then 77 year old on a horse and taking her for a ride in the Rocky Mountains west of Colorado Springs - it was the first time she was ever on a horse.
Since no one can travel, even the children who lived local couldn't visit her in the hospital so we doing the family gatherings via Zoom. Different and yet very helpful and meaningful. She understood the Body was only that, a body, and this life is only a stop on the way to being with the Lord. Knowing that is very comforting to all of us.
We are good, and you all stay safe!
