A surprise call from the Hospice, something I understand I will have to appreciate and respect. My anticipated Willoughby, Ohio Wednesday routine will not develop into a routine. The patient passed away over the weekend. It is good the Poor Clares are praying for him and his wife. He passed on Saturday, the day of Roger’s funeral. I will return to the Bagel Buddy though, attending mass at Our Lady by the Lake, purchasing Christmas baked goods on Wednesday in honor of the patient.
