DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

[Miss Moonlight]

I keep wondering.... they said a space heater was on this whole time? She must have had a system set up to pay bills then, else her electricity would have been turned off... Sigh. I know I will be keeping me eyes open from now on. If I think someone lives alone and I don't see them for a while, I might get just nosy enough to be sure they're okay. I did that before for a neighbor, turned out she'd gone on vacation and forgot to do a mail-stop for her mail. But I don't regret asking the landlord to reach her and make sure she was ok.

Anyway, off topic. It's just so sad.

Reminds me of something I saw on Criminal Minds... case in question was an UnSub's mother who had died long before, nobody knew and he had never had her declared deceased so he could hide behind her various accounts.

In the age of Direct Deposit and Automatic Bill Pay, it's the closest thing to perpetual motion. So sadly, we'll be hearing more about cases like this.

It's a terrible shame. My father just told me.

I was also saddened to hear that his first wife, the lovely Miss Elizabeth, also died a few years ago. I remember the both of them on WWF.

The pics I posted under "German magazines" were from my grandmother's workshop.
Today is 31 year since she died. I never got to know her.. but I can see my father still remembering, and missing her.
So, rest in peace dear!
