  Died	5 May 2011
  	«b»From e-mail from Bill regarding his mothers death 5th May 2011:«/b» Three weeks ago she began to complain about a sore back. First we tried Tylenol, then the doctor prescribed Tylenol with codeine, then we returned to the doctor for roentgen rays and a CT scan. We expected to learn she had a fractured hip, or a pinched nerve. But the tests showed a large tumor in one lung, tumors in some of the lymph nodes, and a large collection of fluid just outside the lung. By Sunday May 1 we determined that cancer had spread to her bones, and that was causing the pain. Her pain continued to get worse, and according to her wishes we moved her Wednesday to a peaceful hospice center in the countryside. There she was given enough pain medication to allow her the most restful sleep she had had in three weeks. Thursday at 3:30 pm she breathed her last, in the presence of her closest family - husband of 57 years Will, son Bill and wife Cindy, son Neil and wife Lori, brother Ben and wife Ardis. Also with us by remarkable coincidence (perhaps) was our family's pastor from the 1970's in Duluth and his wife. It's all happened so fast we have not yet caught our breath. As Ben said, with the progression of her Alzheimer's disease we were expecting "the long goodbye", but it turned out to be pretty short. We are thankful she is no longer in pain, but at peace with God. Today in the US we celebrate Mother's Day, and mother's obituary appeared in the newspapers. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sctimes/obituary.aspx?n=marilyn-satterness&pid=150832631 http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/obituary/id/198515/ In the next few days we will be posting photographs of her life at the website of the funeral home. http://www.williamsdingmann.com/ObituaryDisplay.aspx?ID=6495 A memorial service will be held on Sunday, May 15. I hope to write more when I can. Please forward this to anyone else who may wish to know, and let me know their email address for future reference. Thank you for your support during this time.
