R.I.P. Sue Baylor.

Diana and I are saddened to report my mother’s passing. Sue Baylor died this afternoon at around 4 p.m. This weekend, we knew the end was close, and we're grateful that it was peaceful and she didn't suffer. Her body was giving out, and finally she let go.

An appreciation and information about arrangements will be forthcoming.

Until then, I gently recommend that readers remember my mom by thanking a teacher – and our profuse thanks to everyone for your words and thoughts these past few days.

There were two posts ready in the hopper today, and I've just published them both. On Monday, March 13, I'll be observing a day of silence at the blog. We'll be back in some fashion on Tuesday.
