A Sad Note to End the Year 2009

I wanted to share with all my faithful readers that on December 10, 2009, Barbara, my sister-in-law, passed away. Barbara found out in December, 2008 that she had lung cancer and probably only 6 months to live. She was a fighter to the end. She showed everyone and lived an extra 6 months because she wasn't quite ready to go. Her Christmas present to herself was to unhook the oxygen and smoke a cigarette and drink some Wild Turkey Whiskey. A tough Old Girl. She donated her body to science (and I said Jesus, they will never see another body like that one Babs). I guess she got that idea from reading Patricia Cornwell. Her Body went to The Body Farm in Tennessee. Her son and daughter decided since Virginia Tech would be playing Tennessee in the Chick Filet Bowl Game in Atlanta this year, she would go to Tennessee wear her Virginia Tech (Orange and Maroon)colors. If you don't know about the Body Farm, you can Google it.

So on New Year's Eve, raise your toast to Babs. I will be doing that.
