Fall                                                              Harvest Moon

Regina Schmidt, life partner of William Schmidt, my friend and fellow Woolly, died at 4:00 pm.  It was peaceful.

Her death follows a stroke last Wednesday which followed smaller strokes in the week or two prior.  As I said below, she had cancer and it was after her chemotherapy ended that she developed the blood clotting problem that would eventually lead to her death.

How Regina’s death will affect Bill in the long term is very hard to say.  Right now though the important thing for all of us who love him is to love him without overwhelming him.
