This week has been a very tearful week for me and my family
Monday night my aunt Marjory passed away quite suddenly. From the
information my father told me she called 911 because she wasn't feeling
well. They arrived at her home and when she didn't answer the door they
kicked in the door off the courtyard and found her in her study off the
kitchen. This is the same study which had been converted to a bedroom
for my uncle during his last months. The police were called and she was
taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival. From
the lividity of her body they stated she had been dead for about 30
minutes so she basically died immediately after calling 911. The house
smelled of paint fumes and there were wet drawers and paint out so they
believe that the fumes either put her into respiratory distress or
caused such a strain on her that she suffered a massive heart attack.
No autopsy was done. On Tuesday she was cremated and per her wishes her
ashes were mingled in with her beloved David and in the future they will
be scatted into the wind off of the Gulf of Mexico
Tony has agreed to let my sisters and I including Larissa take one
memento from her home to remember by..I'd love to take her kitchen as I
spent many a afternoon there when I lived closer admiring her wallpaper
and leafing thru her cookbooks while we talked about this and that. I
have asked that my father get the statuette of the winged victory of
samothrace which I have loved since probably the age of 5. probably one
of my most favorite greek sculptures..
Now comes the time of finding homes for her beloved beasts: A 14 yr old
jack russell terrier and 3 loveable orange tabbies..So far no takers so
we're hoping someone steps up soon
When did I find this out? 8 pm Monday night while raiding in TK..My dad
called my cell and I picked it up and apparently while he was telling me
my aunt died I had played with the mute button on my mic and flipped it
on so the whole raid heard me when I found out she died. The whole raid
got quiet and it was Killa that whispered me first telling me my mic was
live..I quickly apologized and told them I'd be a few minutes while I
talked to my father...I sit there for about 15 minutes vanished while
they start looking for a replacement for me...Avoc whispers me asking me
if im going to be okay and I tell him yeah but to keep me busy..I stay
in the raid but am very quiet..people are whispering me sending me their
sympathies and asking me what happened to which I had to tell them that
I didn't know because I didn't know at the time..We call it a night
around 11 and I immediately log out and curl up in bed and cry
Took Tuesday and Wednesday off because I needed to do it for me..now im
here at work and we're getting ready to leave because of the weather..i
hope we can make it in tomorrow as I need to pull a lot of time to make
up for the 16 hrs I missed..She doesn't qualify for bereavement because
she was my aunt..stupid rule..she was blood..she should qualify
