Well, my beloved neighbor's flame that has been flickering for some three years now has finally burned out...cancer claims another.
She went comatose yesterday and her family finally decided to let Hospice bring in a hospital bed (brings back memories...). The Fullers (neighbors across the street from her) helped move her comatose body into her death bed, for lack of a better term. The middle child of the Fullers, Jeffrey, watched nearby. Keep in mind he is mildly retarded, a thirteen year old boy with a mental state of a toddler...he asked his mother if LaVerne was "going to sleep in her crib"?...guess that's what LaVerne lying in a hospital bed with rails, in a coma, looked like to him. She answered, "Yes, Jeffrey, in a way she is."
To LaVerne Bickerest...my "over-the-hill" friend...I'll miss you.
