Sending you all so much love. It's been a privilege for us, too, to be invited to witness from afar, and to share this time with you, like we've shared so much else. May we all be cared for so tenderly and so well when it's our time.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.
'Underneath'

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I hope she has a peaceful transition. She is very loved. And we were all very lucky to have her. She will not be forgotten.

Sending my love, and praying my way through the Litany at the Time of Death from the Book of Common Prayer, which as always has some gorgeous language:
Receive her into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen

Love to Jacqueline, and to you and your family David. If this is her time, may her passing be easy.

Our wings are not tired.
I think it's made it easier for all of us. Just the privilege of tending to her.
Yes, it is not a chore to tend to your beloved at the end. It is also a blessing for Matilda to know that her mother was surrounded by love. You know that Jaqueline feels safe in your care.
It's been a privilege for us, too, to be invited to witness from afar, and to share this time with you, like we've shared so much else.
Yes, going through the pictures I sent it reminded me that we were with you for the courtship, the marriage, and the birth of your child. It hurts like hell to be where we are now, but I hope the shared grief helps all of us.

I wish I had something to say. Words fail me even in the best of times.
