   Yep, they're on the walls in every room and in our hallway. Also in the   
   building   
   lobby; she talked the strata council into buying several framed prints.    
      
   When she was bored, she'd zip around the building in her wheelchair, knock   
   on the doors of people she got along with, and strike up a conversation. The   
   whole building mourned when she died unexpectedly.   
      
   (It seems that a childhood illness -- rheumatic fever -- struck her down. Long   
   story short: rheumatic fever can cause significant problems later in life.   
   One of them is multiple sclerosis, which she had. Another is heart failure.)
