18) dated May 19, 2003: Karen is so much pain that she needs so much morphine that she was sleeping almost all day. dated May 21, 2003 Karen is deceased.

dated May 19, 2003: Last week, Karen still went out as the Milford House Rinus told me. At first Karen was with the children to an open day at the school where the children at least until the summer school will also follow along Karen's look at a house that they offered in Killaloe. But Rinus told is that after Karen has miraculously maintained very strong outings during the evening she died and was dead tired and needed more morphine than normal. Yesterday Karen had so much morphine that she had injected most of the day was almost asleep. Rinus was pessimistic about further follow-up and is worried about what to do next. Today they got the key to a new home. Personally, I think, remembering my visit to Karen and what she was when all told - see post dated May 9, 2003 on this page - that, now she sees the children well spent, and also their Rinus one place Killaloe so she has peace and thus in a good way to take leave. But again this is a personal idea that I make a long distance from Karen herself and not her personally spoken to.

May 21 at 02.45 hours Karen deceased at the Milford Hospice in Limerick.

In the beginning God created the heavens and When the earth,
the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep,
while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light.

On the night of May 21, 2003 after a long illness, passed away our loving mother and wife.

I go to the land of fairies and angels were her last words.
