((Petunia111)) - so sorry to hear of your neighbors sudden passing and my prayers go out to his family. Sudden deaths really are shocking and they have a way of making us think about appreciating our own lives and our loved ones.
My daughters friend lost her father last summer. He was famous retired hockey player and died of a heart attack, while boating on the lake. We were all stunned because he looked so healthy. The only good thing that comes out of it, is it makes us appreciate our own lives. Hugs to you.
