I just got off the phone with a friend of mine.. She's in her mid 60's. She's a retired school teacher and her husband retired a while back.

Her mother-in-law just passed away last week, so she and her husband went down to Alabama for the services. They had a family reunion of sorts over the weekend, and flew back Tuesday.. Yesterday morning, Henry sat down to breakfast and just died..

He was being treated for high blood pressure, but his heart was ok. They are waiting for the autopsy report..

They had 2 children who died as well. A son died of leukemia at age 3 and another one was killed in a hit and run when he was 10 (they never caught the guy who hit him and left him in the road)

His mother was 104, and went to the mall the morning she died, and her son was 64 ..:( He never got to collect a single SS check )

I was so sad when she called me, but she said she was at peace with it..and to Live every minute.:(
