This is probably of most interest to SETI users, so I'll post it here - though I'm sure binary radio pulsars would have come into the picture as well, if they'd been discovered in time.
Oh Richard :( That is very sad news :( I am so sorry. But what a wonderful legacy she has left us all :) You must be so proud of her. Thank you for letting us know - it can't have been easy for you. Thinking of you.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Richard, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm just reading it all now as I have been preoccupied elsewhere for the last couple of days and am catching up at the moment. I'm sorry I didn't see this a little earlier.
Your mother was obviously an amazing person and she would be very proud of the way you have 'shared' her with your friends and associates.

A joke from my medical student days was ( cleansed of offensive Aussie idiom ) :
Q :'What would you deduce if you saw a pink zebra ?'
A : Some silly fool has painted a zebra pink.
Q : 'What would you deduce if you saw a unicorn ?
A : Some silly fool has spiked my drink.
Q : 'What would you deduce if you saw a pink zebra with a unicorn ?'
A : It must be Strange Horse Day ..... :-)
[ superficial meaning : I have no idea why, so I will just label it to sound authoritative ]
The base lesson/commentary/context is that upon the likelihood of making certain relatively rare diagnoses, given the known prevalence in populations etc. Thus launch into discussions about how to combine probabilities using different assumptions/dependencies. Today I have had a Strange Horse Day. It happens every blue moon ... ;-0
Cheers, Mike.
