and mine.

Darryl, This is the best I can remember it;

Catherine lived in Hawaii as did her mother.   She was caring for her mother
with Alzheimers, while she herself was suffering from metastasized cancer.
While undergoing chemo and all its attendant miseries, she was trying to
manage caring for her mother in this apartment complex.   Her mom was
delusional and rather active if I recall and was quite a handful for a sick
person to try and manage.

They had relatives in the mainland, but Catherine was very reluctant to put
the responsibility for her mother onto any of them, saying they had their
own lives and kids and responsibilities and so she was determined to bear
that burden herself as long as humanly possible.   Ultimately her mother had
to go to one of them.   I hope Catherine's last days were peaceful, because
she was very sick from cancer and the chemo while trying to care for her
mother and herself at the same time.   I think her story touched many of us
here.

 If you go to this URL and click on alt.support.cancer.breast. Then click
on alt.support.cancer.breast members bio pages. Then look for Catharine
Honeyman or Hula Blooz. It's her history in her own words, plus the obit and
the journal her sister kept of the final hours. She was quite a wonderful
woman.

I'll say.  I was especially amazed by her sense of humour.
