Helen update

Helen called tonight. For the past 8-9 years she's had two men who have rented rooms from her. Over time, they've become family to her. Allen R. is 88 and Allen Q. is in his early 50s.

Well, Allen R. had emergency surgery on Saturday to remove 6" of his intestine and isn't expected to recover. It seems he swallowed a pill of some sort a few weeks ago and didn't take it out of its shrink-wrap. It lodged in his intestine and caused a major infection. Today his daughter went to Helen's house and got his Will and his wallet. Bless her heart, Helen's so upset, but at the same time she's saying that only God knows when it your time to go and if it's Allen R.'s time it's beyond anything that anyone else can do.
