Linda Daly, daughter of our beloved Nancy Daly, has written a magnificent book called "The Last Pilgrimage," describing her mother's last journey across the country. Nancy, who was dying of cancer, had one last hope. She wanted to see the healer John of God. But John of God was on the east coast, and Nancy was in Los Angeles, very close to the end of her life. Linda Daly and Nancy's nurse, Laurie, took Nancy on a private plane to the east coast. Nancy met John of God and then wanted to go back home to Los Angeles. She didn't know it, but she had a collapsed lung, and a doctor told her she couldn't fly home. Nancy chose not to treat it and asked Linda to get her home no matter what. Linda decided to rent an RV. She called her brothers Bobby and Brian and they flew out to help with the driving. That is the set up for this book........the journey of how the children tried to get their mother home in time. You have to read what happened. It is heart-wrenching, personal and beautiful. This is a book written by a loving daughter describing her emotional journey about life and death with a mother she loved deeply. It is a universal plight.

Over the weekend, a party for Linda was given at Carol Biondi's house by Carol, and a number of Nancy's friends. What was so beautiful is that for most of us it was a reunion of people who haven't been together as a group since the private funeral. It was bittersweet, but as the afternoon wore on, it really turned into joy. At one point I was sitting with Edye Broad, Cheryl Saban, and Susan Dolgen, and Nancy's son Bobby joined us. He looked at us and said, "Seeing you all sitting here talking is what I remember every time I went into the house. It makes me so happy to see this again."

Nancy Daly was simply one of God's angels on earth. I miss her every day of my life.
