Sad News in the Neighbourhood

Husband M and I were out walking last week and I took these blooming spring flowers for you.


Tulips





Magnolia


In a bit of a shock, husband M discovered last week that our next door neighbour (the wife), died at the end of January this year. I had made a blog post regarding a neighbourhood emergency at that time. It seems she died later that day in hospital, she had just turned 60.  The woman had been ill since last June, but I thought she had recovered. The house has been sold and M saw the husband outside last week and was able to speak with him at length. The good thing is that she was not in pain, it sounds like heart failure to me.  Ironically, his mom lived with them and she is fine. 

I found this blog post from last June I had made concerning our neighbour. And shortly afterward, I made this other post, where we thought she would be ok. The couple had been married 40 years.  We are in a bit of a shock.

    That is really sad about your neighbor. I'm sorry for her family; it must be difficult for all of them.

    I'm sorry to hear that your neighbour died. There was a lovely old couple who used to live next door to me. I never learned what happened to them.

    You never know when someone you know will die suddenly and unexpectedly. This weekend we will attend my sister in law's funeral and burial. She died in a pedestrian accident.

    It is always a shock to see someone die as early as sixty. Sorry for the loss of your neighbor.
