Life Goals

in the last year alone, 3 people I know died of a heart attack ... my aunt at 74 last year, and 2 members of the MINI community I belong to ... one a guy in his 50's, another a 42 year old ... both during daily activities.

Honestly, Rick was pretty overweight and remember all those posts about what nasty fast food he was eating at the time? Coulda been a heart attack I guess.

That's my guess. Obituary says he died in the hospital so it sounds like they got to him in time to at least try to save him.

Yeah... Mike, the other guy I knew, seemed to have a pretty unhealthy lifestyle, but he was (similar to Liz) one of the friendliest, nicest guys I knew. He owned a landscaping company and one of my buddies from work was a client of his. One time Mike came in to work looking for Al (the client) and started talking to me about high school in the 70s, *****, women and life in general. He was a great guy, I ended up talking to him almost weekly at work, every time I saw him there he'd spend a good 30-45 minutes talking. then one day Al tells me he passed away by heart attack early in the morning. his fiancee saw him up walking around at 5:30am and found him dead in his bed at 7.

I just hope he didn't suffer, or if he did die suddenly I hope his family is recovering from the shock, that's never happened to one of my loved ones so I can only imagine how horrible losing someone to unnatural causes or without any sign of failing health must be. And on a lighter note, someone needs to carry on his tradition of taking the piss out of black metal excesses...

Before this year the only deaths I'd experienced were those of my father's parents, both of lung cancer. As an adult, the experience is much more difficult, even though I practically hated two of the people who've died in the past year (and rightfully so) I can't help but feel bad now that they're gone.

haha seriously, I will sorely miss Liz's presence on this forum. I could always count on him for a laugh. I was planning on hooking up with him last time I was in Ohio but didn't have the time. Really should have.
