Yucca Valley, CA

It isn't often these days that you hear of people dying at home, but it is good to know it still happens. A couple came on my tour from Yucca Valley, CA and they had taken care of his mother, in the house, until she passed. She was in her eighties.

She would always wear a throw over her shoulders; it was covered in roses. When she wasn't on the couch with the throw over her shoulders, she would have it fan folded, laid neatly on the arm of the couch.

A while after she had passed the wife came home from work one evening. She had laid the throw on the couch, using it to keep the dogs from getting hair all over the couch. After work she walked into the living room to find the rose throw fan folded on the arm of the couch.

She went to her husband, in a back room, and asked why he had moved the throw because she was trying to keep the dog hair off the couch. He didn't know what she was talking about. He hadn't folded the throw and certainly not in an ornate fan fold. Only his mother did that.
