Marielle, we have an beauiful antique English pub piano made in the mid 1860s that we need to get rid of, but unfortunately it won't stay in tune so that would not help her.

And I'm sure it would be so easy to transport it from west coast to east coast!!

We came home night before last and had a bad day yesterday.

Many hugs and prayers to you guys. Luckily DGD was with you guys. It would have been worse if she had witnessed.

I take it that DSIL/DD live nearby. Hmmm.... Hopefully they can come to peace with their house. That has got to be hard. I know it's hard for my DH to go to his dad's house right now since he saw both his DGF and DM die on a hospital bed in the living room. (The IL's moved into the house about 10 yrs ago after DH's DGF died. Dmil passed in Jan 05. DGF/DMiL both died of cancer.)

But you're place is still on the market if they wanted to stay there....right?

DD was very glad that she was the only one there, although it was really hard on her at least DGD and DSIL do not have that scene as their final memory.

Our place is on the market, but the kids can not afford it. They had been talking about selling theirs and upgrading a little though, so if it is too tough for them they have that option. They did not come here last night, so we are assuming they were able to sleep in their own bed. DD called around 9:45 but we were exhausted and had already gone to bed. I'll talk with her in a bit.

We had a fun camping trip and enjoyed seeing Aaron. We came home night before last and had a bad day yesterday. Our DD and DSIL had his mom visiting with them for a few days and yesterday DD found her dead on the bathroom floor. She was only 58 and had no apparent illness, but the police said it was apparent that she had died immediately as her hands were not out to break her fall. (maybe anuersym or stroke, hopefully autopsy will tell) Poor SIL is just distraught and DD also. They were not able to stay in their home last night and DD said she does not know how she will go back into that bathroom because she just keeps seeing the scene again. DSIL would not even go into the house at all. They stayed at our house - in the Van on Steroids - last night and are taking care of the necessary details with his brother and sisters today. We are just so sad for them. DSIL is our family "rock", but yesterday he was just a mess and allowed Dennis and I to just take care of him. This is so out of character for him. DGD was with me when I got the call from DD so I had to share the news with her I called Dennis to come from work, then went to their house and turned DGD and DSIL over to Dennis to take to our house while I stayed to help DD deal with the police, mortuary and such. Sad, sad, sad. We had 12 or so of DSIL's family over for dinner last night so they could be together and grieve a bit. We just feel so helpless and don't know how to make it better.

Thank you for listening.

Angie, it sounds to me like you are being just what they need to help right now.

My first thought was that it was good that she was visiting them. Where does she live? Would she have been alone and not found for a while? Maybe this is one of those things that happen for a reason and God didn't want her to be at home alone.

Thank you all for the thoughts and especially the prayers. The kids neighbor had told them yesterday that they would like to make dinner for them tonight. DD called Dennis today and said they were not sure if they will be staying here again tonight or if they will be at home. They have very good friends that went in and cleaned up the bathroom (wife of the couple is a state trouper and she said she is used to cleaning up such stuff) and then they cleaned the entire house and left some beautiful flowers on the table. Hopefully it will be peaceful enough that they will feel llke they can stay. We will see. DD will be bringing some stuff for Dennis to print up for the memorial service later this evening so we will see how they are doing. Again, thank you so much for the prayers and for letting me "talk".

It sounds like they are blessed with wonderful friends who will help them through this along with you and Dennis.
