Thanks all... She has wanted to go for awhile, has missed my Grand Dad terribly over the last 20 years. They issued a DNR and have removed all meds except for pain. 92 is a pretty good run and at least this wasn't a long, drawn out situation. They took her in to the ER Friday. I saw her last fall and internally had said my goodbyes.
When I taked to my mom this weekend she told me a humerous story I'd not heard from when my Grand Dad passed (that was quick too.. massive stroke followed by cardiac arrest). He told them that he didn't care about his services, only one request... No oak for his coffin. He didn't feel right about using good wood just to go into the ground, heh heh. Typical pragmatic Midwestern farmer.
