For those of you who know Lois Mangan...

Got this on the Arisia mailing list today, thought people would want to know:

Hello,

I just got off the phone with Phil Nathanson, Lois's brother. Lois is at a very small hospice in Cambridge and expected to die within the next few days. She is suffering the end stages of Parkinson's Disease.

Please DO visit her. It is advisable to call ahead.

Chilton House
65 Chilton St
Cambridge, MA 02138
(617) 661-6415

Preferred visiting hours are 9:30 am to 8:30 pm.

It is a small facility with only four patients. Please be kind to everyone there and respectful of their needs and privacy.

When I asked whether there were things to bring, or not bring, the person on the phone simply said not to bring anything that Lois might be allergic to.

I'm glad of this opportunity to visit with Lois while she is still with us.

Please pass this information to others who may be interested.

Jill

Edit: Apparently the situation may not be as dire as we thought - see update here.
