For those of my friends who know me personally, know that my Father-in-Law passed away at the end of July. It was really sudden. We had told mom and Pop they could call us anytime no matter what time it was if anything happened. My husband's mother has been recooperating from an on-going illness since July of last year. We made a trip to Washington to visit them last year, and when they took us home, my mother-in-law ended up in the ICU, and has been in and out of the hospital ever since. So basically what I am trying to say is, if and when we heard from them, we were thinking it would be about his mom. Well, thankfully it wasn't, but when we got the call, it was mom telling us that Pop had died. He was diabetic, and his blood pressure kept falling. He would sit on the couch in front of the TV with a blanket around him and his space heater running just to keep warm. He got up to go to the restroom, and mom called to him wanting to ask him something, and she got worried when she didn't get an answer. She opened the bathroom door and found him laying on the floor not breathing. He evidentally collapsed trying to come out of the bathroom. There was no autopsy, and they are calling it natural causes. Mom sent us the money to get a flight to Washington that Saturday for the funeral was on Monday. It was a Military Funeral. It had a 15 gun salute. It was really sad when they started playing taps and then my husband's Cousin came dressed in full uniform and presented the flag to mom. There wasn't a dry eye there. We all know that pop is watching down on us. He is soaring with the eagles now. His Obituary is as Follows:
