Oh Kate, how terrible. Deepest sympathies for Mark, his family, and everyone close to Joey. Strength and peace to all of you.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh God, Kate, that's horrible. I'm so sorry.

There's a downside to turning the house you moved out of over to relatives. You know the stuff you *didn't* bring, and the *perfect* spot or use for it in the new house. So you resist and try to find local substitutes or upgrades. But then you wind up arranging to have things mailed. Or worse, shipped, for more than the actual value of the things.
Moral? Sell what you leave behind and make it irretrievable. Man, that Victorian pressback rocker is *haunting* me! My rainstick! The skipole walking sticks! And, and, and...
On the other hand, yes, there are boxes of stuff I'm donating--I brought this, WHY?--not even letting them find temporary shelter in the loft lest they grow roots and refuse to leave.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
My deepest sympathies Kate to you and Mark's family.
