She's "slipped the surly bonds of earth"

Peter, John & I arrived at the Toms River Community Medical Center about 25 minutes after Mim slipped from us.  Even if we'd left at 8:00 a.m. - which would have put us there around 10:30 instead of well after noon - I'm sure she still would have left us 25 minutes before.

She looked not radically different than she did last Friday.  It was good to get the news there, instead of by phone.  It was good to go into the room she's been in since being admitted a ten days ago.  It was unforgettable seeing that she'd passed with her hand on top of a teddy bear.
