My Grandma past away Sunday 1:00am. The funeral ended up being on the same day I was summoned for jury duty. I thought it was going to be a hassle to get the date moved, but no problem there thankfully. Sorry about your losses Copperhead & Doorgunner.

Thanks guys.
I couldn't stand to go to the Funeral home to see him,don't think I could take it.
I would rather remember him standing up than laying in a box.

Sorry to hear about your loss DG.

The bad thing is his wife will probably lose the Parts store/Machine shop they ran.Its been in her family for probably 40 years or more.Her father had to step down a couple of years ago due to to Alzheimer's and Perry was the back bone of the Shop part.
