LATER THAN YOU THINK
The SO died suddenly without warning in her sleep from heart failure.
Possibly - post Katrina loss and the stress of her recent colon cancer operation - which I thought was successful.
1. eleven - two months short of twelve years in ER.
2. While not abandoning this forum - my post count will be reduced for a while.
No heh heh heh this time.
She died with 'money on the table' and we had a number of plans for our new location.
Soooo - don't wait too long to ER.
P.S. - Cremation and an LA style wake on Lake Ponchartrain next year in good weather - depending on how many friends we can find scattered hither and yon.
