Found out yesterday that Mom's apartment at Riderwood has been emptied and the keys turned in, which means one less hefty monthly expenditure for her estate.

An (on-line) auction for 'left-over' furnishings is scheduled for April. 

I am sorry that none of the family had room for her dining set, because the six seatbacks are upholstered with her needlepoint artwork of animals.  Guess I will just have to hope that someone out there will appreciate all of the diligent work that went into those creations, and then give them the good home they deserve!
