When all said and done, I think a lot of people would be envious of the way she went. I know I am. I would dearly love to go like that. When you think of how most people live their last years, either medicated in a home or having nothing to do but watch the drivel that passes for daytime tv these days. Here she was, creating beauty purely because she enjoyed doing it and had a talent for it. A simple, pure kind of beauty, not for financial gain or because she felt she needed to impress someone - but purely because she wanted to. From your description it was peaceful and quick, and I really can't think of a better way to leave this world.
