Ana Caliope Ionescu
November 14, 1943 - July 8, 2013
Telling you all about the death of Mihai's mom, Pia, seems a sad way to begin this blog again. She had battled with cancer for more than 18 years. Although her last hours were unfortunately very uncomfortable for her physically, in the days immediately preceding her death she was feeling well enough that she and Silviu had taken the train to Bucharest and visited with friends there. In her usual style, once she returned back home she spent the day talking about what to do in her garden and was formulating plans to plant more raspberry bushes and try and make the climb up to the top of the hill to see the bee hives.
She died in the home she loved so well, with Silviu by her side.
