This from Jack today:

I (Jack) visit Ann every day at 4NE at the Chalmers hospital not far away. She has been there for almost 2 weeks. She is having a hard time, and is up and down in mood. She is not easing much. It is very disturbing. 

Many thanks to all who have helped us, including my sister Elizabeth who came from Vancouver to help out. She expected Ann to be home, but I am very grateful she is here to help me.

I pray for a turn around.

Many thanks for your help and prayers.

Jack

 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.

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

  From Jack today: We need help caring for Ann Passmore when Janet returns to teaching in late August. This would involve about 20 hours a week, at $15/hour, between 10 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday, the exact times to be negotiated.  The location is at 715 Montgomery St, Fredericton, N.B  E3B 2X7.  Ann is continent but frail and requires help moving from the bed to the wheelchair, walker, toilet, commode, etc.  She needs joyful, but gentle, encouragement, support, and plenty of TLC.  Please send a short CV that includes references, past experiences and qualities that relate to the job, to Naomi Phillips at  receptionist@bsbc.nb.ca
