There are no good words, Jilli. I'd do anything to change this for you. Much love and strength to you, your dad and Pete, and peace to your mom.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm so sorry, Jilli. How hard this is. A wonderful woman is about to leave this plane of existence, by all accounts.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thoughts for you and your family, Jilli.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Everyone else already said it, but I am so terribly sorry, Jilli. I wish I could undo it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Much strength to you and yours, Jilli

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jilli, I'm so sorry. My heart is with you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, Jilli, I'm so, so sorry. Like Nora, I gasped when I read your Beep Me post; I'd been hoping you'd post another update, but of course, I wanted the news to be anything other than this. I've always loved hearing stories about your parents, and just knowing the amazing daughter they raised is proof enough of their fabulosity. I'll be thinking of you and Pete and your Dad and your Mom in the coming days, sending wishes for a peaceful passing, and that you will find the strength and comfort you need. We love you very much.

Ann, that's a ferret.
