        Death of Dorothy 'Margot' Potts: via e-mail from John Rawsthorne, 2 Nov 2019

        Dear John and Mary,

        Sad news – Margot died yesterday afternoon. We knew it was imminent because she stopped being able to swallow about a week ago, and once that happens the end is inevitable. Fortunately, as far as anyone can tell, she was not in any pain, but was on hydromorphone just in case.

        All of our Vancouver family had seen her in the last few days. David was with me for the rest of the day, to give me moral support, for which I was very thankful.
