Stephanie Dornbrook passed away this morning at two o'clock in the morning.
She was surrounded by her family, in her own home. Her passing was dignified and peaceful.
Her husband and children were at her side.
Her obituary will follow, once we've all had some sleep.
My mother is in the final days of her disease.
We'd like to thank you, the readers of her blog, who have buoyed her spirits, commiserated with her, made jokes, left comments, prayed from far away.
You made my mothers battle easier.
When she was diagnosed with stage 3 type 4 pancreatic cancer two and a half years ago, we never imagined that we had so much more time with her.
That time, every day of it, was a blessing.
Thank you for helping my mother live more richly.
To those of you who are currently living with cancer, keep your spirits up. My mother has some advice for you, but not quite yet.
My sister Mara, a more articulate writer than I, is keeping a journal of my mother's final days on her blog, here.
We'll read comments to my mother for as long as she wants to hear them.
We're very grateful to all the people who have helped out. It's a long list, from famous cancer bloggers like Leroy Sievers to my mother's closest lifelong friends to my Gramma to the Bahai's of the Greater Cleveland area to her brothers to my best friend's mother.
The outpouring of support has been humbling.
Thank you; the world is full of angels.
