I am sorry to report that my sister passed away on February 11, 2009 at the Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, FL. It is really hard to lose a sister. She had gone to the hospital on January 30 with severe pain in her stomach that wasn't diagnosed until 3 days later as a perforated ulcer. She had experienced breathing problems and was on a ventilator when I arrived on Sunday, February 1st. She made it through the surgery, but never fully recovered. She had yeast infections in her blood and in her abdomen, along with pneumonia. At one point she was also on dialysis for 3 days as well.
A healthy person would have had a hard time overcoming these problems, my sister, who suffered with chronic pain for the last 20 years as a result of neck surgery that went awry, could not overcome them.
The link to her obituary is as follows: http://www.newcomernet.com/obituaries/obituary.asp?src=value&obitid=31580
Bob flew back to the Ft. Lauderdale and rented a car and drove over to St. Petersburg and picked me up. We picked up my son, Michael in South Carolina and drove home in one day. We got our winter clothes and switched to our larger car for a more comfortable drive to Rochester, NY for the funeral. The funeral will be this evening following a viewing from 4 to 7. We will fly back to Staniel Cay this Saturday and resume out travels south in the Exumas.
To my sister, may she now rest in peace.

Dear Penny & Bob,
We are so sorry for your lose. Your blog dedication is beautiful and so thoughtful and I feel your sister would have been very proud. As you stated in your last comment,"may she rest in peace," is probably how she wants to be remembered, no more pain. We are in George Town as well as Ed and Dee and so we are just waiting for ya'll. Hope to hear from you soon and again we are sorry for your lose. Rita-Kay & Clay
Hi Rita-Kay, we are still at Sampson Cay Marina, but plan to anchor out for the next blow, so probably won't make it to George Town till next week. We'll be looking for ya!
