Florence Accetta
I mentioned on this blog several weeks that my wife Janet's mother, Florence, was very ill and I asked for prayers. Since that time I have decided not to give any updates on her condition, which changed quite radically from day to day. It somehow seemed a much too private and intimate ordeal to be discussing in detail in front of just anyone who might stray across this blog.
On May 31, after a struggle that was deeply painful for her and for her family and friends, Florence Accetta died in Carmel Richmond Health Care and Rehabilitation Center on Staten Island at the age of 84. She had, among other things, a malignant brain tumor. I am grateful to have known her, to have spent some extra time with her very near the end, and to know that a still better life awaits her than the life she lived on earth.
My wife Janet, my son Nick, and I are no doubt still in need of prayer.

Great blog I hope we can work to build a better health care system. Health insurance is a major aspect to many.
