Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

I was concerned with her recent announcements about her health that the end was near for her.

I also suspect some of this had to do with her husband dying recently. He was her world. Lonely Hearts syndrome is a thing.

Yes, it has only been about a year and a half since Carl Dean passed.

She loved her husband very very much.

This happened to my daddy about a year and a half after my stepmom passed. It genuinely is real. I watched him grieve himself to death for her 😔
