Some Sad News This Morning

Yesterday @ 7:15am our

friend, Keys,

passed away.

Keys was his legal name.

No first name or last name.

Just Keys.

He was a composer

and musician that

traveled around the

world in his heyday,

 playing the piano

for other's enjoyment.

He was a bit 

-ahem-okay-a lot-

quirky...which

made me enjoy listening

to his nonsense.

In the last few years,

he has not been in 

good physical condition

and those of us that were

closest to him

became his family.

In the last few months

he also became mentally 

confused due to complications

with his diabetes.

About 2 weeks ago he 

had a stroke and

rallied slightly in the hospital.

My son went to the 

hospital at night and

played his guitar and

sang for him

-sometimes until 2am-

 Keys

spoke to him and

recognized the songs.

My son & his wife managed

to get a laugh out of Keys-

something unexpected

because of

 the shape he was in.

Yesterday we spent all day

making arrangements

and driving 2 hours

North to tell his 90 year

old mother, 

that lives in assisted living,

 that she 

had lost her only son.

I won't be around much for 

the next few days.

I will pop in and out

but forgive me for not

visiting you on a regular basis

like I usually do.

This next week will be

spent cleaning out his

home before his rent

comes due at the end

of the month.

We figure right about now he

is up in Heaven

telling God what He needs to do

to run the place right.

Cuz that is how he rolls!

Say a prayer for his soul.
We will miss him.

I will do the drawing
for the giveaway
later this week.
