Another friend died

What the hell is going on? Last week we lost, Bunny (yes, funny name for a big ex-college football player), which was expected ... but still. Knew him for over 50 years - since first grade. I just got a call saying Darlene's husband posted on Facebook that she passed away in her sleep last night. DARLENE. The four year old little Irish beauty who's Poppy walked her around the block, right into our neighborhood and we were close friends ever since. 56 years of being close, close friends. I just 'talked' to her a few times this week on Facebook -- thank GOD for Facebook. I told her to be safe with her new scooter that she bought for when she goes to the lake. I asked her if she was in the zone of the hurricane. I'm so glad she had such a good life but she shouldn't be dead. And all state roads are closed. Public transportation is stopped. Even if I had the means to get to Virginia, I couldn't do it. Heh, I'm not much of a drinker so this was a big deal for me. I called another good friend from childhood to tell hm about Darlene. He was pretty upset, especially after Bunny passing away such a short while ago. So he said lets go to the bar for a drink. At 10 a.m. So he picked me up and the bar was open and we had a few beers. Luckily the grill guy was there to make me an egg sandwich because I had had nothing to eat either. Farewell Darlene. Tom and I have made a pack not to die, or if we have to, we want to be at least 100. :)
