Heading Home

We received word last Monday evening that Rita's Mother had a stroke, so we returned home early to be with her and the rest of the Arens family. After two days of flying we arrived back in Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon, dumped the bags at the apartment and went directly to the hospital. She was paralyzed on one side of her body and generally in pretty bad shape. After a family consultation it was decided to bring her home where she's resting comfortably.

In accordance with her wishes she's been removed from all life-support and nature has started to take its course. Her family is standing vigil around her and, although she's still responsive, she is starting to fade.

Please remember Mary Arens and the rest of the Arens family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
