My visit Back East / Obituary As many of you know, my father passed away on Tuesday. I flew back on Thursday to meet up with my family in Massachusetts. He died peacefully in his sleep. My mother and I went to the funeral home on Friday to view the body and to pay our last respects. Below is the obituary as it appeared in the Saturday newspaper.
Arthur W. Perkins 1926-2012 I just received the sad news that my father has passed away. He died of complication of COPD and Congestive Heart Failure. He was 85.
The past week, he has been under Home Hospice Care. He died at home, as he had wanted it.
QBT 2011 2011-05-14-QBT 2011 was low-key. It was about as cold as last year. It was good to sit around the fire. Tony served excellent food as usual! A good time was had by all!
Nature, Rey and Gary
I just logged in and got the stunningly sad news that Beast has died. I have no words at this point. I last chatted with him On the phone Saturday to ask him if it was alright to come over for a visit. He was very ill at this point. My only consolation is that my last words to him were 'I love you'.
Here are links to several past post in which Beast was featured:
Oprah: Twinkify My Man Maybe it's good that Oprah will be going off the air! Yesterday's show featured some snotty queen named Tim Gunn from teh Project Run(a)way. Three cases of facial defoliation. ACK! The worst was the trasformation of this total wet dream of a bear, Josh -- into a member of a boy band, to please his wife!
10. Help me find my car keys and we can drive out of here. 9. How do you think I rang the doorbell? 8. The light lunch was my idea. 7. Too bad Mother wasn't here. We could have saved the horse and wagon. 6. The one in front is sick and the other one's pushing him to the hospital. 5. While you were upstairs talking, we were down here enjoying hot buttered corn. 4. We can save the lady, but I'm afraid it's too late for the rabbi. 3. Read the card! Read the card! 2. And the dog says, "I've never had five dollars before!" 1. Move over honey -- I have to gargle.
Teddy BARKS! I was at my computer about an hour ago and heard Teddy barking at some loud pedestrians outside! Also, at that time, I fed him. Oh, I hope he doesn't get all Pavlovian on our asses and starts barking whenever he wants food to eat something - we'd never shut him up!
