nanny,
i’m sure you didn’t listen to rock music. but i heard this song on the day of your passing. and, after to talkng to my mother (and your daughter, loretta) this sounds appropriate for your last days.
‘you know who i am,’ he said.
the speaker was an angel. he coughed and shook his crumpled wings, closed his eyes and moved his lips.
‘it’s time we should be going.’
Sorry for your recent loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
Love, Virgil, Mildred & Michael
