ABSOLUTELY CRAZY, BIZARRE, INSANE HAPPENING OF THE WEEK



My father died last March. Before that he'd been in a nursing home for

five years. He'd been ill for twenty years.

This week, John Hancock sent a letter that he's been approved for life

insurance.



I hate to tell you, but this type of mail is not unusual, even years

later. Magazine subscriptions/renewals will be next. After my mother

moved to a nursing home, she received a letter that she should report for

jury duty.
