Ann sent the following this evening [Janet is Ann's and Jack's daughter]:

Janet said that on the night that I vomited blood, she woke up at 12.30 am.  She heard me shouting for help;  she said that she heard the fear in my voice. She did not know that it was happening in real time.  She was distressed by the fear in my voice.  She only put the times together later. Neither of us were on morphine. I found it very affirming, that she was on the same wavelength.  Thank you, Janet.

    After an operation years ago I was taken back to my room where my mom was waiting. I was very weak and she wanted to ask me a question but didn't want to bother me. I "heard" her speak the question and so I answered it after which I realized she hadn't spoken it out loud!! I opened my eyes to see the amazement on her face. That experience made me realize we really are fearfully and wonderfully made.... Just as scripture says. You and your family are in my prayers and in His loving hands.🙏

 Ann's message this morning: I have had the nasogastric tube in for a day.  For some reason it seems to sit better in the left side of my nose  than the right.  While it was out, there were a series of tests, measurements, etc. out of concern for what the tube would restrict.  Our team of doctors are very competent and efficient.  My one critical comment is that they talk to each other but not to me!  Yesterday I was anemic and had low sodium levels,  Apparently, cancer will bleed even if not provoked.  It also stops bleeding too! I usually write the  post of the day in the dawn.  It is a beautiful time of day, and I find it very positive for me, even if it is raining or snowing, but  always when it is glowing and anticipating a good day to follow.  Enjoy this Palm Sunday.  Thanks for supporting and following with us.  -- Ann, Jack, Janet and David

 Jack submitted the following, Ann's Eulogy as delivered by Roz Thompson at the funeral: Ann was born in Bristol England, in 1942 the 3 rd child – 1 sister and 2 brothers into a family economically and emotionally challenged. Her father came and went, and eventually her mother was left caring for her three children alone, working at Fry’s chocolate factory.   Ann -being quite bright - was the only one in her primary school to win a scholarship at a grammar school. Her mother could only afford a second-hand school uniform for her, but it clearly identified her as going to the grammar school, leading to some harassment by the neighbourhood children. Nevertheless, she did well, encouraged by her teachers, and fascinated by the new worlds she was learning about. Even then church was important to her, and she was nurtured by members of Saint Barnabas Church where she learned about the love and mercy of God. When she was about four years old, she was cared for by some nurses wh
