RIP Patricia Sapko Zielinsky 1932-2008

I just got back from having a beer in the closest neighborhood bar.  Unfortunately, it wasn't for my birthday, it was in memory of my Aunt Patty.  She passed away this morning from lung cancer.  The reason I had a beer in a neighborhood bar in her memory was that she owned and operated a neighborhood bar for years.  This, of course, was back when

I'll most certainly raise a glass to her -- the world needs more people of her caliber!

*raises a glass of mead in her honor!*

It won't be a beer, since I'm pregnant, but my thoughts are with her.

Spike is holding on for a bit longer, and while the idea of losing him on my birthday at first sucked, now I hope he lasts that long; getting to celebrate his life every year on my birthday would be a pretty neat thing, honestly. I hope you find that you are able to feel the same way about your Aunt dying today. Hugs!

It doesn't have to be beer. To be honest, I don't ever remember seeing her drink alcohol.

There are no bars in Wellesley, neighborhood or otherwise, but I drank a goodly bit of wine in her honor tonight.

She sounds like a remarkable woman. Thank you for telling a little bit about her, with such strength. We'll toast her memory tonight.

Thanks! hfcougar has agreed to take over setup at hughmannity's event. Since you and your lady offered a hand, kindly lend it to her. Also, kindly help the one or two new people who will be going to the event. I won't be able to wear my chatelaine hat either.

Yes, we will be happy to share our setup allegiance with hfcougar. Alas, we will not be able to Chatelaine for the event but we will be our usual friendly selves. :)
