I thought I read that John was at her side. I'm so glad to hear this and hope it's true. I bid on a few of her things at the auction, now I wish I had bid enough to win something.

Yes he was there, and before the stroke. I don't think she knew very long about the cancer, or how advanced it was. It happened pretty quickly, but she definitely knew she was dying. In a way it almost worked out for the best because she already had loved ones around her at the time of the stroke.
