My uncle died just a few months ago from a very similar brain bleed, at a similar age. His was diagnosed pretty quickly but the doctors were unable to stop it.

I am sure she appreciated you and Gregg and felt much safer knowing you were right there. You are right about the church ladies- they are the engines that keep the machinery of the southern churches humming along. And yes, always for free, always way too unappreciated. <br />What a beautiful lady she was and I am so glad she got to leave this world quickly. It sounds like she was very much loved.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-31294493316417958822023-01-29T09:58:54.003-05:002023-01-29T09:58:54.003-05:00I remember wanting to talk to elderly people more ...I remember wanting to talk to elderly people more when I was about 30 and had the time.
