I lost my Dad back in August and that's been bad enough....can't imagine both. Title: Re: Doug Fluties parents die on the same day today. That is just unbelievably sad. Post by: volsboy on November 19, 2015, 12:57:56 EST Both of mine are gone. Can't imagine this.

I did have an elderly neighbor pass away last year an two months later his wife also passed. He had been in really bad health for a couple years but she was relatively healthy. I think she may have lost her will to live when he passed though. Title: Re: Doug Fluties parents die on the same day today. That is just unbelievably sad. Post by: Coupe De VOL on November 19, 2015, 03:54:26 EST This same type of thing happened to my great grand parents. My great grand father had a heart attack while swimming at Watts Bar Lake and drowned. My great grand mother passed away the next day. They left behind 5 daughters (one of which was my mamaw) and 2 sons and a pretty nice dairy farm in the heart of the Tennessee valley.
My mom's brother was a bit of a gadget freak and back in those days he had a Super 8mm movie camera. He shot some film of a Thanksgiving get together we had where my great grand parents were holding me (I was 5 months old). They both passed away the following summer. That was the only time we were together, as my parents lived on the other side of the state. I don't really have any memories of them, of course, but that video my uncle shot is kinda like a memory 'substitute'. |
