Death

One of my neighbors passed away last night.

A stroke. While she slept.

We talked every now and again. She lived on the other side of the building. I had not seen her since December. She had been in California, wintering. Ran into her a couple of weeks ago.

We had a meandering conversation. Like all of our conversations, it was about nothing in particular. Jobs, life, travel. She looked and sounded fine, life was treating her well, it always seemed to.

She had been in a wheel chair as long as I've known her. She never let that slow her down. It always seemed like a natural extension of her.

She was always friendly with people, helping folks out. She knew everything that was going on in the neighborhood. She was, in many senses, an activist.

Susan will be missed.
