I’ve started to scan photos of mom that begin to tell her story. This is one of the few photos I have of her without a horse in it.
Mom died at 72 years of age on December 8th, 2008. It was a sudden death, she died at home, and we did not expect it at all. In fact, she had a customer coming to look at a horse that was for sale that day. I don’t quite know why she died that day. she had been to her cardiologist, Dr Bergen at UVA the week prior and got a good report. Perhaps she had a Cardiac dysrhythmia and died. The death certificate simply said cardiac arrest. As with most things it was a bit more complicated than that.
