Death

Two years ago Anna’s cousin Doug died. Yesterday his wife Mary died. Mary was 59. It was not sudden, she died in a hospice. Every time I saw them I thought of them as a handsome young looking couple, even as they talked of their grandchildren.

Death is final.

She was so young! It sounds very sad. Condolences to your family.

59 is surely young for that, Eddie. Makes me grateful that I have made it to 66, in relative good health.

Suzanne,
Thanks.
Kenju,
Me too!... sort of.
