From Marscha, 6 Sept 2017: update.

,,,,,

I’ll attach this memo here for you to read.

I don’t have the details as yet, as Norma’s

obituary hasn’t been in the local newspaper

as yet. Perhaps tomorrow.

I received a voicemail from Marc Mettler last

Friday telling me that Norma (Peterson-Reis) passed

away on Aug 31 at Kaiser Hospital in Modesto.

I later called him back to ask what happened

and he said that when he last saw her, she

seemed to be doing better. However, the phone

rang at 4 AM and it was the hospital saying

to come if they wanted to say good-by, as

she was slipping away.

This set-back happened shortly after she had her

second chemo treatment.

The hospital gave as a cause of death an

infection that her immune system couldn’t

fight. Not sure if it was the results of the

cancer in the intestines, the chemo, or

something else.

Her obituary will be in the paper this week

and a burial Sept 11 at 10:00 at Lodi Memorial

Cemetery.

A celebration of life will take place later

in Sept.

So hard to believe, as we just chatted on the

phone, and she sounded very upbeat and was

going to BEAT the cancer.

One just never knows what’s lurking, so

CELEBRATE every day.
