So I want to note something about death that's often true: people often wait to pass until their loved ones are no longer in the room. It's a very common thing, I don't know why that is. When my uncle died my aunt had spent practically every minute in the room with him, only leaving to go to the bathroom or shower, which she did right there. That's when he left - when she was taking a shower. I think it's somehow easier for the one who is passing to go when their loved ones are not present.
Perhaps eew and her father had an agreement that she not be there - maybe she didn't want that to be her last memory of him.

you're going to be in Salem????? You should check out the local endangered animal education center in Ipswich. Sundays are good - especially 10/1, 10/15 and 10/22.
If you go, buy your tix in advance online.
I will look up since I'm very near Salem,
