An Sad Day!

Received word this morning that Daughter In Law Melissa's father had been fatally crushed between a truck and a loading dock while at work.
Melissa booked a Flight to escort the remains from New York to Kentucky for burial but was soon informed that her Air Plane at the Tampa Air Port had been struck by lightning and she would have to wait until tomorrow.
Don't know how this will play out, looks like a Flight to Kentucky.
I had this tombstone erected in Hugo. Oklahoma at least 45 years ago quite confident our marriage would last but it almost ended the next day when my wife found out how much it cost and immediately took control of all financial matters, a policy that exists until this very day.
After we moved to Florida I began to wonder how I would manage to get back to Hugo for my burial, I even went so far as to ask Roy Wells if there would be room in the back of his camel truck when he went North each Spring and he graciously agreed.
