Dayton cared for our mother during the last week of her life. She assisted in our mother's surgery during the week prior to her death. She respected our mother's wishes, she treated her with respect. She answered her questions. She addressed her fears. She honored her wishes, her final wishes. She spent time with my sister and me. She was truthful to all 3 of us. A dying person needs to know the truth, as does the family. It makes it possible to deal with what might happen. How can the family help the person who is dying? Dayton was a champion fighting for our mom's wishes. She allowed our mom to have dignity to the end. Our mom loved her for this.
