It is finished.
Mom passed away today, about four hours ago, surrounded by family. Just wanted to pop on quick to mention... I'll probably be scouring the forum for things about the "eighth stage" with any spare time I have.
Thank you to all who have helped my family by sharing your knowledge with me. Good night.
