Sandra Culley 20-10-1959 – 07-11-2011

November 7th, 2011

Sandra died last night, as she was holding her son’s hand, as peacefully as could be expected under the circumstances. I had seen her myself only a few hours before when she still looked as if she could last a couple more days at least. She had said to me she wished it would be all over soon, but I don’t expect she thought it would be over this soon…

I’m glad she’s no longer in pain but I wish things could’ve gone differently.
