When Auberry Lee came to visit Grandma at the hospice. I had to tell her that this would be the last time she would see her. Unlike Gabrielle who could not look at her Grandma, but was constantly holding onto her, Auberry couldnt take her eyes off of her but was afraid to touch her.
Dad talks to the paramedics after they put Momma in the back of the ambulance for transport to the hospital after she collapsed from dehydration. This was her first ride in an ambulance, but she didnt remember any of it, in fact she didnt remember several days. When she was released she was admitted into Denver Hospice home care. She would not be returning to the hospital for any treatment.
Gabrielle was in constant contact with her Grandma while visiting her at the Hospice. She wouldnât talk to her or look at her, but she was in constant contact; touching her or holding her hand the entire time.
The familiar scene in front of Moms house began to change
The desk at my house is covered with small photographs and mementos. Just as in life, my Mom was the center of everything.

The Fort Jackson wildlife center was relocated at the end of July, much farther inland, away from imminent evacuations due to dangerous conditions related to tropical depressions and hurricanes.

Tattoo shop owner and artist Bobby Pitre of Lafourche, LA decided to let his opinion be known with artwork painted by he and a friend on the side of his Lafourche tattoo parlor. He said he could stand on the corner and yell about it, or he could paint this and let it speak for him 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Photo by: Jenn LeBlanc/Iris Photo Agency
Workers use shovels to gather and scoop the orange gooey mousse into plastic bags to be hauled to the local trash dump. Night operations on Long Beach in Long Beach and Pass Christian started July 7, 2010 and this was the third consecutive night o work in the same area. The workers are tired but in good spirits, but they are not allowed to speak with us. They work hard until someone comes and tells them to stop for a break or a shift change. They keep going.Working on the seemingly endless piles of oil that come ashore with the tide. Photo by: Jenn LeBlanc/Iris Photo Agency
