My cousin, Carol Capshaw, died today from a brain tumor.  What a way to go.  I understand they gave her morphine for the pain towards the end, and she was able to die at home under the care of hospice.  She was the only child of my Uncle Carl who died a three years ago.  She remembered more of me than I did of her as she used to baby sit me when I was but a wee tot.  However, she spent most of her life in Massachusetts so I rarely saw her.  Carol  was a pretty nice person, although she could be difficult at times.  I suppose that description could apply to most of us.  Rest in peace my cousin.
