Rest in Peace

Last night a neighbor died. Great guy of 88 yrs. I spent a lot of time talking and walking with him. RIP Bernardo Ortiz!

In less than 2 hours after his death he was drained of fluids and lying in state at a funeral parlor. Burrial is set for tomorrow.

Wow, that's quick!

Gotta fo to town now to visit him and buy some flowers.

For 50K (about$25)pesos I bought a flower arrangement that nearly cover the whole casket. Would have been at least $200 in the USA.

I was wrong on the burial date. It's today! Way quick. I rememeber when my wife's father died she didn't have time to make it to Colombia fast enough for her to participate in the funeral. She had to listen to the cerimony over a cell phone.
