    Aw Crap

    One of my long time friends (We met in the mid 80s) His brother was the best man at my wedding, lost his wife this morning

    Val spent 28 years as a Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Deputy. He worked in my coverage area of the Fire Department. His wife Debbie was a court reporter

    He retired two years ago and they moved to Florida to enjoy their life together. She died from Leukemia

    I met her before Val when I taught her mother to Scuba Dive in 1980.

    This hurts, they were such a great couple. Val is devastated.

    2020 is the gift that just keeps on giving. I hate to hear that my sympathy. Yesterday my brother-in-law's brother-in-law was out doing yard work and fell dead in the yard no history of heart problems 63 years old. My brother-in-law reviewed the video of the incident and said he just staggered and hit the ground. T guy I'm thinking it had to be a massive coronary what else would you suggest would cause something like that.

    I'm very sorry Eric. Both my older brother and his wife suffer from leukemia. They fight that battle everyday. I'm not sure that I would make the same choice.

    Your friend is free of that battle now, may she RIP.
