but wow - 97?

You're not signing her death certificate. She's going to go when it's her time. What you are offering is an ability to spend the remaining time in a familiar or comfortable enivronment, not just hooked up to breathing tubes in a hospital. She is lucky to have you.

Post or PM anytime.
