With an upgrade on her mind

Our prayers are with Anne Harris, who's nearly 93 and has lately been thinking of the end of her life. Anne is the mother of blogger Mark Harris, whose entry yesterday was about how Anne, an avid computer-user, recently wrote to Mark with the simple word "upgrade" in the title.

Anne is a computer freak, a proud owner of a Mac Book Pro which she learned to use shortly after her 90th birthday, and an iPad on which she often writes family. For years she was a MS Dos user. In particular she used several software programs to produce books of computer generated pictures. The one to the right, "The angel Israfel, whose heart strings are a lute, And who has the sweetest voice of all God's creatures" is particularly appropriate this evening...

So, death as "upgrade." Right. As she sits with the angel of death by her side ... I am aware that death at the end of a good life well led is a friend...

Mark was also kind enough to include a link to a gallery of Anne's computer generated artwork.
