R.I.P. Pagan Lass (Obit Link Added) - 05/04/10 04:45 AM
My wife Alice, known on Legion World as Pagan Lass is currently in the final phase of her five year battle with C.O.P.D..
Just before Thanksgiving last year she was hospitalized for two weeks when she developed severe infections in both feet as a side effect of a medication that she was on. After having both feet operated on, she made it home for my birthday and Christmas.
In January she appeared to be regaining her strength, but in Febuary she developed a second infection, this time in her urinary tract. the infection was cleared up, but left her bedridden.
She's been losing ground ever since.
Within the last two weeks her situation has gravely worsened. She no longer has the strength to even sit up or speak above a faint whisper. She cannot take medicine in pill form and is on morphine for her constant pain.
Our Granddaughter Brittany is due to graduate from High School in June. A few weeks ago our goal was to get Alice strong enough to attend the ceremony.
Now I'm just praying she makes it to mother's day.
Alice decided long ago thet she didn't want to spend her final days in the hospital or a nursing home. She's at home receiving hospice care, surrounded by her loving and adoring family, resting as comfortably as possible.
She wants me to convey her thanks to all of the wonderful people here on Legion World for their frindship and kindness to both her and overgrown child she has been married to for the last thirty five years.
Although she never posted much, the adventures of Pagan Lass, Abin Quank, and the Quank Clan on Legion World delighted and amused her.
She knows her time is short but she smiles and says she's had a good life and she wouldn't change a thing.
I'll keep you guys posted.
At 5:05 today May 5 2010 Alice Tabor, AKA Pagan Lass, Passed Away peacefully in her sleep from complications due to C.O.P.D.
She leaves behind A greaving husband, 5 sons, and 8 grandchildren.
She was 56 years old.

to you, Pagan Lass and your whole family. I hope Alice is as comfortable as can be. I know when my Dad passed the hospice care was so good. Don't hesitate to call them for anything.
