family | 5/9/16 | The Bat Lady

Posted on 05/09/2016 6:33:13 PM PDT by The Bat Lady

I saw that Basil had not commented since January and gave her a call. I got her daughter who answered the phone. The news is not good for our FRiend Basil.

They sent this release:

Dear Family and Friends:

As some of you know, our Mom, Mari (BASIL of Freerepublic.com) , suffered a stroke in early January. It left her paralyzed on her right side and unable to speak. She's got very limited speech and her mental faculties are diminished. She spent many weeks in a therapeutic hospital but when it became apparent that her condition wouldn't improve, our family decided she'd be much happier at home.

Many people have asked how they can help our family. Most importantly, keep our parents in your prayers. Dad's an amazing caregiver but it's all very overwhelming. If you'd like to send cards or emails to our mom, we'll be sure to read them to her. (Her address is TAKEN OUT for privacy.) Please send emails to (taken out) and she'll print them out for her.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Paul, Jr (Pike); Mary (Ginny); Carl; Cynthia; and Linda

If you wish her address for a card or the daughter’s email so it can be read to Basil, PM me and I will send it. I do not post personal info out for everyone to see.

Or send me the message and I will pass it on!

I read another thread on this a few days back.

Hated to hear of this. A lot of us have gotten together over the years in Washington, D.C.

Special people...

Her daughter, duly named Pesto, sent a message for us. What a lovely lady, and I will keep them in my prayers. It can be very hard for the caregiving spouse indeed. I was impressed at all Basil did for us. I wish her all the best.

Dear Bat Lady,

I was off of FR for several years, battling a health challenge myself, but I remember Basil well and had the pleasure of meeting her personally. We were good FReeper friends back in the day.

Please let her family know I am keeping her in my prayers. She is a great lady and a true blessing to everyone who knows her.
