Please raise your glass to the passing of my good friend:

She had a long life and she was with me constantly. It hurt both our feelings on the rare occasion that I left her at home.

She was bright, dependable and clear minded. Although a bit simple, she was good at what she did.

She passed Oct 29th, 2011 between 7 and 9:45 PM. She was faithful and alert until the last moment. She rode to the airport in style (via a new Vera Bradly bag). Her last words were in the cell phone parking lot. Later that fateful evening, she was left alone in the car, in the dark while the family dinned out. However she was comfortable inside a small, green tumbler of gin and tonic,. Her passing was serene. 

She ebbed away while turned-on and happy. (Having left no directives; heroic measures were used to  resuscitate  -- alas to no avail.) Subsequently an autopsy revealed...no SIM card. 

Sadly, she was old, out of fashion and dated. It was her time and she knew it. She was very aware of the constant rumors of a younger, more fashionable replacement. She was active in several sewing groups, unfortunately she was ask to leave her yoga class.

Homicide investigations indicate there may have been a motive. However, findings are inconclusive as to involuntary manslaughter or intentional suicide.

R.I.P.
