Comments: Randy and I went with Sylvia & Scott Knox. As we were pulling into the Knox's driveway for dinner, I received a call from my father letting me know that my mom was not doing well and that I should probably come home. So I went in and spent time in the Knox's bedroom on the phone with Delta trying to get a flight out the next day. It was a strange experience being at a David Sedaris performance--he is hysterically funny--while thinking about my mother's impending death. So strange. My mother passed away exactly one week later, on April 11, 2001.
