not ten minutes after i published my last post, i got a call from my friend pete letting me know that his mother verena had suddenly passed away. this was a total shocker. she was in great health. she even was scheduled to leave today for an alaskan cruise with her other son marc. pete is devastated. he could hardly get the words out. his brother marc had called him in the morning to say he hadn't been able to reach their mom on the phone for the past few days. marc phoned the neighbor. she spotted several newspapers in front of the house. police were contacted. verena died at home. devastating.
verena was a dynamic, funny, smart, witty lady and i will remember her as always up to something. she opened her home up in italy to all of pete's friends. those were some pretty great times. i will mourn the loss for my friend but i will also remember that she lived life to the fullest and on her terms. she didn't care what people thought about her. she did what she did, no explanation. she loved her family and she loved life. i will miss her.
she is now with her lovely husband al and they are probably have a nice glass of red wine.
rest in peace lovely lady. rest in peace.
