Charlie's Wife Passed Away

Friday night, I made this entry in another journal.

This morning (wee hours of Sunday morning), I still can't believe that I heard a few hours ago that Charlie's wife had passed away.

She had a stroke a week ago Saturday (though I didn't learn about it until Friday night), but, from the way that Charlie talked, it sounded more like a disorientation stroke and that she had been making progress.

So, it was a shock to find out that Monnie had passed away this afternoon.

She's had several health problems--everything from cancer to vertigo to hydrocephallus--over the past couple of years but seemed to be getting better after surgery earlier this summer.

Charlie has been wearing himself out taking care of her, but I know that he would be glad to go back to being worn out just to have her back.

Anyway, it's just sad and unbelievable...
