ALERT!
This is the view from Rocky's Hospice room. He began to decline through the rest of April and on May 5 was hospitalized with pneumonia and respiratory failure. Two days later he was transferred to Wellmont Hospice House.
It is a beautiful peaceful place. His son, Geoff, is here and we are keeping vigil. If you'd like to keep up with Rocky and me and our families, I have set up a website as follows:

I'll be back on here when the skies are blue again. Mimi
