From: Sue Stewart <hoodoosoo@comcast.net>

I regret to inform you that our "Lady" is gone. On March 17, 2005 at
2:23a.m., Andre (Norton) departed on her final journey. She left
peacefully in her sleep with myself, Ollie and Mark at her bedside.

She will be missed terribly and mourned deeply. Her passing leaves a
void that can never be filled, as we shall never see the likes of her
again. Knowing her has made me a better person.

Andre requested that, in lieu of flowers, please send donations to Saint
Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis Tennessee or Veteranarian Services,
c/o The Noah Fund, P.O. Box 10128, Murfreesboro Tn. 37129, in her
memory. Because of her love of animals, Andre herself contributed to the
Noah Fund which is for people who can not afford medical treatment for
their pets.

After coming to live with us, and, as our feelings for one another grew,
I began calling her "Meemaw". This past week, she said to me, "I
have won many awards in my life, I am a Grand Master, some call me the First
Lady of Fantasy, and others call me The Grand Damme of Fantasy, but the
title I am most proud of is "Meemaw". Eventually, everyone followed suit
and "Meemaw" it was. Finally, she had gained the family she had longed
for most of her life.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Kathy Vinson L.P.N.
and Jan Hoffmann who were instrumental in the day to day care of Meemaw.
She developed a special closeness and friendship with them and, their
feelings were mutual.

Thanks to all of you for your phone calls, cards, flowers and gifts.
Knowing everyone cared so much meant a great deal to her. Her modesty
made it difficult for her to fully comprehend the magnitude of the
feelings her fans and followers had for her. However, near the end she
finally realized how much she was loved and admired by so many.

Sincerely,
Sue Stewart

Danke für die Info.
