Speaking of serial killers. Did anyone kno my brother (Richard) from another mother?

Know him, no. But one of the families that he victimized (Vincent and Maxine Zazzara) lived about a mile from my parents' house. And the wife of a former co-worker nearly shot him. She was hosting a bridal shower for their daughter at their home when they heard the sound of glass breaking in a bedroom in the back of the house. She grabbed their shotgun, turned on the light when she entered the room, and saw a leg coming through the broken window. She issued a verbal warning as she "racked" the shotgun, and the leg and it's owner disappeared. It was only when the local police department called to ask some follow-up questions after he'd been arrested that they were informed the intruder was Ramirez.

OK, because you asked, sit back and adjust your hats: the Frunobu-Mom Deathbed Story (TM). In four part harmony...with feelin'

So, yeah, Mom was on her deathbed - literally. She was in hospice, and had been there for an unusually extended period. She still had all her faculties, fortunately, but the emphysema and congestive heart failure were undeniable and we all knew it was coming soon. Don't take my lightheartedness the wrong way, we all had much time to prepare for the inevitable (including Mom) and we were pretty ready.

One day Hospice tells us, "It's time." She was deteriorating and it was starting to happen. She was still in and out of consciousness, but her 77 year-old body was failing. We made the appropriate calls to friends and family, and went to sit with her. After a time, a good portion of family was at Hospice to see her off - Mom was well-loved by everybody. Of course, you get a few of my kin around for any length of time, you've got a party. So we're all sitting around, telling bad jokes and my wife decides she's hungry. So off to WC for a couple sacks of Sliders.

When she returns, Mom has rallied a bit and is fairly conscious, and of course she wants a Slider! My sister starts feeding her one, she gets irritated and says, "Can I just hold the damn thing myself?" Shortly after that, she slipped back into unconsciousness and remained that way. Well, we sat up all night with her, awaiting the inevitable. About 7AM, my sister is sitting next to the bed, my mom is laying there with her head turned to the side. She opens her eyes, looks at my sister, and say, clear as a bell, "Do you think I could get a cup of coffee?"

Mom lasted a couple more weeks after that before she passed. Behold the power of White Castle!

Oh, and I'm wearing a Stetson 3X today, BTW...

Not a good guy. Black sheep of the family.

The Mercedes looks sharp with the new taxi topper! It's owner looks pretty damn spiffy in that Mallory if I don't say so myself as well!
