Dear Gus,
I met Monkel, Donna, and Nancy in Beebe today to talk to the attorney who is handling Mum’s estate for us. It’s been a long, drawn-out process, with lots of complications, but we reached at least some level of finality today. We aren’t rich, but Mum will always have my respect for doing what she could to make sure we would be taken care of. I would have respected her anyway, but I know after Papa died, she saw how important it was that she get things right. She was about as fair a person as one can hope to be.

Leaving a Legacy
A quote attributed to the artist Andy Warhol has resonated with me during this turbulent time. He said, “The idea is not to live forever, but to create something that will.” Immediately I thought of The Music Hall, our Historic Theater, and the superlative circle of fans we call the 1878 Legacy Society. Built in 1878, the Historic Theater has weathered some ups and downs. A nonprofit since 1987, The Music Hall can say the same. These days may be like no other, but I am reassured by decades past – and friends for the future – that we are working together to support an organization with the potential to thrive well beyond our lifetime.
The 1878 Legacy Society was created to recognize the generosity of individuals and families who have made, or provided for, gifts to The Music Hall in their estate plans. Members of the 1878 Legacy Society are helping to ensure the long-term viability and success of The Music Hall for future generations. Please join us in thanking these individuals who have prioritized The Music Hall, identifying it as a place that exhilarates, engages, and transforms our patrons’ lives while creating a sense of community. To learn more about leaving a legacy, or if you’ve made plans and haven’t yet made us aware, please contact us so we can express our gratitude.

Dear Gus,
After some time off of the ventilator, Mum chose not to be placed back on it when the doctors recommended doing so, and she knew that would be the death of her. The nurses moved her from CCU to a room upstairs so we could have more room as a family to spend time with her (but when we got to the room, it was smaller).
Mum had her wits about her until the end. She said goodbye in a way that seemed as if she had orchestrated it long ago. Even though she was clearly in pain and had trouble breathing, she refused to numb her senses until all her grandchildren were present. She asked how far out John was on his way in from Tahlequah and when I told her two hours, she said, “I think I can probably do that.” At that point, Mary Alice was half an hour in front of him, but he beat her to the hospital.
When everyone was in the room, Mum asked that we all hold hands. She told us to stick together as a family, to work hard, and to keep God in our lives. Then she asked that we all pray together. We assumed she would ask Will to lead the prayer because of his preacher status, but Mum led the prayer, despite the nurses telling her not to talk because of how much it would affect her breathing. And then we sang a song I didn’t know, but I later found out it was called “Angel Band.”
When it was over, Mum said, “Okay, I’m ready.” I went to the nurses’ station and told them she was ready to be put on whatever alternative to morphine they had prepared for her—she was allergic to morphine.
After the nurse left, we all stood around Mum in silence, waiting for her to die. After two or three minutes of nothing but the sound of sniffles, Mum said, “I didn’t think it would take this long.” Everyone laughed.
She died an hour and a half later. I loved her. I’ll miss our long afternoons of talking about her life. She was a pillar of strength in our family. And irreplaceable.

Dear Gus,
The family met at the funeral home today to get a first look at Mum--which sounds weird, but that’s what it is. Funeral will be Tuesday.

Dear Gus,
Everyone had a great time at your birthday party. You were overwhelmed at first when so many people were coming into our house, but after you shed a few tears and spent some quality time in the arms of your parents, you got comfortable enough to crawl around, open presents, and eat one of Nene’s cupcakes in front of everyone.

Dear Gus,
In celebration of Papa’s birthday, everyone is getting together at Mum’s for dinner. It will always feel strange that he left this world so close to your entering it.
