Also, going through her things now may help avoid the unanswered questions I ended up with after my Mom passed. At least when you run into something that makes you go "Wha...??" you can ask her the what or why of it.

Also, if she's got anything hidden away, now's the time to ask. One of my grandmothers used to hide her good jewelery in a shoe box in the closet, and it almost got tossed as costume crap.

Sorry she's not doing well, though: that's not easy. At least the produce stands in that part of the world ought to be livening up. It's a bit early for corn, isn't it? Tomatoes, perhaps.

The L-i-K-S says she's looked at most of the boxes stacked up and is sure there are some photos and mementos to be sorted but that all of the most important stuff has been dealt with already.

The thought of good produce, Jonathan is a plus. :) If I weren't changing towns/states almost every day (and without any transportation of my own), I swear I'd get out and buy some.
