Sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry for your loss, Jot. Hang on there!

[Jot]

Thanks guys. He had been suffering with bladder cancer, kidney failure, a stroke, so in a way, the covid was a quick and painless end. I believe he remains alive in us.

It's not. Quite enjoyable.

And, my heartfelt condolences.

What makes you think they haven't, Kalifer? Tried to contact a human at Customer Service anywhere, recent years?

[Paula]

I have found that if you keep repeating "Human please!" that usually works unless you are talking to a human, to begin with.

Very sorry for your loss, Jot.

[Chris]

Wow. Just saw this string of comments. So sorry to hear about your loss, Jot.

[Jot]

Thanks guys. He had a long life, but his body had gone south very quick, that by the time he got covid, his organs were already failing. In a strange way, the virus helped him to suffer less. He has survived by my four sibs and twelve grandkids. God bless.
