I learned last night that Connie passed away on Tuesday afternoon. Her husband and daughter are taking her to Iowa, I think, where she wanted to be buried, so we won't see Otto until he returns.
I'm sure everyone around her is still in shock; sure, everybody dies sometime, but somehow you never expect anyone to die just now. I suppose that's a positive attitude, though, so let's keep it, shall we?
I've got deadlines at work coming fast, I've been doing my taxes all week, and I'm thoroughly exhausted, so please forgive my rambling.
