REALIZATION OF DEATH

INFORMANT TOLD ME THAT WHEN HIS LITTLE BROTHER WAS IN MT. CARMEL
HOSPITAL SUFFERING FROM CYSTIC FIBROSIS, HE WAS IN AN OXYGEN TENT.
A DAY OR TWO BEFORE HE DIED HE SUDDENLY THREW HIS OXYGEN MASK AWAY
WHEN HIS MOTHER ASKED HIM WHY, HE REPLIED, "MOMMY, I'M ALL DONE", AND
AND THEN WENT INTO A COMA. HE DIED IN 1968 AT THE AGE OF NINE.
