So life, and the end of it, happens again.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

A good friend- actually, one of my first work clients, just called me. His wife passed away in her sleep some time this morning.

R.I.P., Carol Tober. She had been ill for a long time and had been bed-ridden since I met them- say six years or so. I long since stopped thinking of them as clients and thought of them only as friends. I rarely charged them for the work I did for them- Ed and Carol were on a fixed income and had little extra money.

I saw them about two weeks ago- he wanted me to install a TV converter box in her bedroom so she could continue watching her soaps. In fact, he called me a couple days ago to tell me it was working great.

He's alone now, and I heard it in his voice- I don't believe it will be long before he rejoins his wife. He had a heart attack last year, and isn't in the best of health. Besides, with some people you simply know.

I posted another thread about them a while back, and I wish to link to it in her memory.

1. I just looked at your other thread again ...

You gave them something very special and I think too, they found YOU to be special as well. May the happy memories of Carol comfort you and her dear husband.

May she rest in peace...

my heartfelt condolences to her husband and to you , their friend.
